Fantasy Analysis
Diogu appeared in just 30 games during the 2007-08 regular season, averaging just 10.3 minutes played. He managed only 5.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. He never really cracked the regular rotation in Indiana doesn't figure to be a big part of Portland's in 2008-09. Fantasy owners shouldn't waste a draft pick on him in most Fantasy formats, but he could become waiver wire fodder over the course of the year. (Updated 07/09/2008).
