STRENGTHS:
Deng is an excellent offensive threat. Has a really nice looking jump shot that is consistant and thanks to his reach and height is able to shoot over the top of most opponents. Regularly beats opponents to the rim with his good dribbling skill and athleticism and soft touch around the rim, he also helps out crashing the boards grabbing a good number of rebounds each night. Deng is also a good distributor of the ball setting up team mates for points and very good from the free throw line.
WEAKNESSES:
His main weakness is in his durability. Only twice in his 11 season career has Deng played all 82 regular season games. With his reach and height he should get a few more steals and blocks.
