NBA Mock Draft Pick #16 -- Gorgui Dieng, Center, Louisville
SB Nation's Celtics blog CelticsBlog explains the pick:
After weighing several offers to trade down or out of the draft, we felt that the best value was sitting right there at pick 16. Dieng is a favorite of staff because he offers a lot of growth without being too raw from the start. He joins Fab Melo as another defensive minded project big man that will have time to develop (hopefully under the watchful eye of Kevin Garnett). Dieng adds depth at a need position and could win time from Doc by standing out on defense. If he continues to develop his elbow jumper, he could be an excellent addition to the rotation.
