Dieng said: "I’ve grown as a player through facing adversity and became a tougher person playing all the games away from home, in a different country, and speaking a different language. Each month, I was able to grow my game and finished strong due to training with my teammates and coaching staff. The Breakers have outstanding coaches, and I have improved everywhere, particularly my defense, as I was able to play against great former NBA players."
NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said: "We are extremely pleased to have played a part in Ousmane’s basketball journey. The NBL is very proud to have played a role in demonstrating Ousmane’s talent to the world."
