Round #5 Pick #Luol Deng #164
If this was last year, Luol Deng would have been a probable early 3rd round pick. Instead, the Bulls sucked this year, and Deng didn't perform as well as he did the year before and also had some injuries (although none were serious and shouldn't effect him long term.) However he still had a good season (although worse than the year before) even with his team struggling and dealing with injuries, and came on very strong at the end of the year which is a very good sign he can return or even improve on his breakout year just 1 year ago.
Even better is he is only 22 years old, so he is also still is very young and should improve. He is also a very hard worker (they had some piece on NBATV a year ago showing exactly how hard he works, and the announcers were impressed).
He is also an elite defender at the SF position due to his great size/length/quickness who can score with the ball in his hands, or without the ball because he has a good midrange jump shot. He is also a good rebounder and can help my team on the boards. We will also make sure he works on his jump shot the most, since he will be primarly used as our defensive stopper at the SG/SF position and off the ball on offense (but we can give him the ball too if there is a mismatch).
Team so far:
PF/C Kevin McHale
SF Luol Deng
SG Kevin Martin
PG Chauncey Billups
