Luol Deng

Team: Duke
Position: Forward
Year: Freshman
Size: 6’8″, 220

Stats (per game): 15.1 points / 6.9 rebounds


Notes: Named Third Team All-ACC and was a unanimous ACC-All Freshman selection. Named Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Atlanta Regional. Led ACC freshmen in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage.

The Skinny:
Despite just one year of college experience, this forward plays like a seasoned veteran. He has a terrific feel for the game, making a lot of smart plays at both ends of the floor to make up for his athleticism being a little below that of other forwards. He’s a good athlete who won’t wow observers, but he can handle and pass the ball better than the average small forward and is a capable shooter. His solid skills and winning style of play are his biggest assets and the prime reason he should go high in the lottery.
