Ousmane Dieng needed one real opportunity to vindicate Bucks' deadline move

Ousmane Dieng made his Milwaukee Bucks debut on Monday, but that wasn't much of an opportunity, just five minutes in a blowout loss. Two days later, however, he made his mark in his first real crack at the rotation, providing 17 points off the bench on a career-high five made threes.

The Bucks still don't know what the former lottery pick can be, but this first glimpse makes it hard to fault them for a low-risk swing on upside at the trade deadline.

Bucks already look astute for taking a flyer on Dieng

Milwaukee acquired Dieng from Chicago in a three-team deal that sent Amir Coffey and Cole Anthony to the Suns.
