Minnesota Timberwolves: Gorgui Dieng
Playing alongside of one of the best big men in the NBA (Karl-Anthony Towns), Gorgui Dieng is often severely overshadowed.
Because Dieng isn’t much of a threat with the ball, he thrives on the boards and his hustle and energy is what sets him apart. Expect Dieng to have a huge season, especially after the Wolves announced that Nikola Pekovic would miss the entire season.
Ding is 26 years old, which isn’t exactly “that young”, but he could still blossom into a special player in this league.
