The Oklahoma City Thunder's roster is brimming with talent, but Ousmane Dieng's position within the team has shifted significantly over the past three seasons. Despite showing flashes of his potential as a versatile forward, Dieng has struggled to establish himself as a consistent contributor. This season, he has faced challenges, recording the lowest shooting percentages of his career, which has limited his impact on the court.

With injuries affecting his playtime, Dieng has found himself spending more time in the G League than on the Thunder's active roster. The competition for minutes is stiff, given the depth of talent in Oklahoma City. As the trade deadline approaches, Dieng's untapped potential may make him an attractive piece for other teams, but the Thunder might still see value in his development.
