Need advice on which 2 to keep? I'm In a keeper league where each year the values of players cost 1 round following year. 1st and 2nd round picks cannot be kept.
Oladipo drafted 4th last year, would be kept at 3rd
Dieng drafted 9th last year, would be kept at 8th this year
Gobert was drafted 12th last year, would be kept at 11th for this year
Gobert and Dieng would give me the most value, but after a disappointing year for gobert, i find myself leaning towards keeping dipo and dieng. Any thoughts?

Gobert should be blatantly obvious to keep. From the other two, neither one of them is guaranteed a starting role, going forward, but I think Dipo is more likely to keep his MPG up in the future, but Dieng will outperform Dipo almost certainly if given the burn. Things could change, of course, and this is all provided you aren't playing 8 cat, in which case disregard and I refuse to help you.

How many teams are in your league?
Assuming other teams will be keeping guys that are ranked as high as first and second rounders, will there still be "elite" talent at the first two rounds? If you let Oladipo go, someone might pick him about 6-8 spots into the draft, if the pool of available players is that thin.
Considering how Gobert played last season, I do not think many people are that high on him. And there is no assurance whatsoever that he'll play better this season.
If I am in your situation, I'd keep Oladipo and Dieng. And draft Gobert in the 5th or 6th round IF I REALLY like him.
This gives me an above average fantasy player after drafting elite players in rounds 1 and 2. And if ever Gobert breaks out, I'd be very happy to have drafted a potential 2nd or 3rd round player at the 5th or 6th round.

Oladipo and Gobert for me. VO has top 10 potential - I think he was 9th overall after the all-star break last season. Gobert has a defined role and will more than likely average 2.5+ blocks and 11+ rebounds with a fg% above .570.
Dieng can be redrafted much easily than the other 2. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dieng be moved to the bench in favor of a stretch 4 or small ball.

Props to Turbo_Zone for the sig.

Dipo will definitely start. His fit next to Russ isn't ideal but OKC's lack of depth requires it.

And to answer the OP- Gobert + Dipo.

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out Dieng. If he can secure his spot in Thibs' rotation, then he will out-produce Dipo, almost undoubtedly.

Thanks for the input everyone!
@Moooose it's a 16 team league
So out of the top 32, or first 2 rounds, only 7 players qualified to be kept:
Towns, alphabet, p. George, dipo (if i keep), zingis, jokic, McCollum
