Ousmane Dieng looks the part, Josh Giddey has a massive impact, Darius Bazley rebounds, Mavericks preseason recap

Rylan Stiles (@Rylan_Stiles on Twitter) dives into the Oklahoma City Thunder falling to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Preseason game two. OKC Thunder rookie Ousmane Dieng looks the part of the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Dieng plays stellar defense and there is a ton of optimism around his offensive progression. Josh Giddey continues to be a magician for the Thunder as the year two guard has his fingerprints all over this game. Can OKC get more out of Darius Bazley? Will Oklahoma City see Tre Mann grow into a more consistent player? Plus, the Bricktown Boys have a shot to be a top-ten defense in this league.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
