2003 Stats

NBA Comparisons:

Optimistic Outlook: Jamal Mashburn
Pessimistic Outlook: Shane Battier

Positives: Versatile small forward with goodball handling skills for his size. Moves really well off the ball. Has good court vision. On the defensive end he utilizes his long wingspan to get in the offensive player's face. Scoring ability is good, but could use improvement. Above average shooting ability. Excellent body control and quick feet, while driving through the lane. Deng has great NBA potential.

Negatives: Good but not great athlete. Average leaping ability and explosiveness. Although he is a capable jump shooter, he can be inconsistent at times. Many times Luol seems to forget about his teammates and forces up a shot. His shot selection needs to get better. Overall though, a great prospect.
