The Nets like what DeSagana Diop brings to the table, and with the big man scheduled to be a free agent at seasons end, New Jersey is hoping they can re-sign him, the New York Post is reporting.

"I think he's going to help us," team president Rod Thorn said of Diop. "He's got a defensive presence, he's athletic, blocks shots, gets rebounds. I think he's a good player. He is someone we will look to re-sign. We like what we see."
