Luol Deng is still very young, but he's very good even now. He plays so few minutes and still averages very great numbers, if he could even get 40 or so minutes a game he'd easily be averaging 20/10/3 from SF! Those are amazing numbers for a 20 year old, anyone who says he's not the best and by the end wont be the best, watch this kid get some minutes, he's got all nba-team written all over him along with a lot of defensive 1st teams although maybe not this season with how varied the Bulls bench is on minutes.

Dwight, cant do anything but rebound, and so-so scoring and defending.Emeka, Rebounds good, defends great, so-so scorer.Or AI, No offense at all, so-so rebounding,passing.
Luol Deng is going to be one hell of a player, he's 6'9", 20 years old, and has a 7'0" armspan. Best of the 2004 class? I still like Dwight Howard more.
Deng won't be the best. That's easily Dwight Howard's claim. He wouldn't be averaging 20 ppg if he played 40 minutes. If that's the case than Dan Dickau would've averaged over 50 ppg.EDIT: type-O's

yeah, but he's only played 40+ minutes five times this year. you can't judge anything really w/ that little time.

Deng wont get 40 for a long time, but his talent is easily enough to average close to 20/10 if he got those kind of minutes. Our team's bench is just so deep that he wont get those minutes anytime soon but in the time he does play, he is very good.
Deng did have a nice game with 16points and 15rebounds..... And he wasnt shooting well. He did miss alot of open shots that he does it.But indo time deng will get 30-40min if he becomes a better defender. Thats why Noc plays alot also.

Noc is probably one of the most underrated young players, great offense,defense,and rebounding but you never hear his name come up.

That's completely made up, no one says that. I know he is good, but he's not better than Dwight Howard. He can't "easily" average 20/10. No one can. You can't judge that bc he hasn't gotten enough time for anyone to really see what he can do. There's no way he could be consistent 20/10 just bc he got the minutes. Why don't you just take your blinders off and see the whole picture.

I dont see iggy being one of the best SG's. Hes gonna have to work really hard. Also Deng didnt get to work out this summer. So he couldnt really work on his game. But he has got alot better from last season. Im sure this offseason with him workin on his game he will become alot better.
