He had a nice couple of games with the Kings at the end of the 08-09 season. Other than that, nothing to note really.

He went to Arizona St so that pretty much means he sucks at life. Probably would've gotten a better education in Nigeria, and far less STDs.

Ike Diougu can play, never got a fair shake because he was a tweener. I remember he played a couple of games for Sac and completely balled.

He had good games as a rookie with GSW but once Nellie took over,he got used as a backup C...which in Nellie's view meant...set picks and never get the ball in the paint. He had talent.

He did tend to get injured too often. Has talent.
CENSORED... No comment.

There's something there. He played the last two games of the seasons for the Kings a few years ago and somehow got the role of "go to" guy, and he crushed. I really thought the Kings would look to re-sign him but they didn't even try. Then he went out and signed a deal with the Clips, and then had microfracture before he could even play. If his knee is healthy and there is a sucktastic enough to see if it was real, then a team could land a huge break.

In Portland he had games where he looked like he has starter potential, others where he looked like a 3rd stringer on a summer league team. He DOES have talent, it just seems to be a question of health and conditioning with him. I think he's good enough to be a back up in the NBA, he's just never consistent for whatever reason.

He never seemed to know what to do when playing off the ball on offense. He was decent if you ran your offense through him, but wasn't good enough to be a guy you ran your offense through at the NBA level. May be best suited to be a go-to guy an a higher level Euro team then trying to be a role player in the NBA.

I like him a lot also. He was with the clippers in 10-11 and really IMO played well. He did get injured once again but other than that i really think he should be in the league. He's a solid rebounder and offensively very skilled. He's a tank.
