Ousmane Dieng NBA Draft Stock & Projection

Round 1
- New York Knicks (No. 11) - 1
- Oklahoma City Thunder (No. 12) - 1
- Houston Rockets (No. 17) - 1

All three of the highlighted mock drafts project Ousmane Dieng to land with a team just outside the top 10 overall picks. Dieng is a long ways away from being an NBA contributor, but his raw talent as a combo forward could help a rebuilding team develop into a great one down the road. The Knicks, Thunder and Rockets all fit that mold.
