Report Card: Grade Luol Deng

[JCM]

Luol Deng​

What grade will you give him for the 2009-10 season. Try to be realistic about your vote please.

Derrick Rose A-
Joakim Noah B+

 

[BigP50]

B-

I was at a game where he had 20 points 20 rebounds. Other then that he is just an average player.

 

[JCM]

that was the bucks game right?

 

[BigP50]

yup, November 3rd.

 

[JCM]

i remember that game, i was like, what in the world has gotten into luol deng.

he has a monster game.

 

[BigP50]

yeah, they also made a come back after being down like 18.

 

[Anytime23]

Average player at 18-8 with good defense? If you say so but then maybe you should change your vote to C because thats average. B would be above average. I'll go B- because he disappears for big stretches but he had arguably his best year. I like his aggressiveness late in the year, getting to the rim and drawing fouls. Needs to work on his FT shooting though and of course stay healthy.

Derrick Rose A-
Joakim Noah B+

B- from me

 

[JCM]

yeah he always fades away late in games.

 

[waldo7239117]

I say C+ because of him being injured.

 

[bossdrb]

C+.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

I say C+ considering his big contract and how he breaks down through the season. The guy is great though. He is an 18-7 guy, 47%, and great defense.

 

[Anytime23]

Not fair to take points off because of injury.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Not fair to take points off because of injury.

it's every year though... life's not fair. He's a great player but in certain ways he hurts the Bulls. Love the guy but yeah...

 

[PrideisBears]

C+. He has a tendency to stand on perimeter instead of going to the hole. I'll admit that he did get a little more aggressive but not enough for me. He is a pretty average player and nothing more IMO

C-. I used to love Deng. Esp when I saw an episode of NBA Fit or sumthing. He was working out, doing tractor tire flippin, plyos, the whole 9 and then come season time, he stunk.

He mentality is kinda weak, he cant impose his will upon anyone.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

Not fair to take points off because of injury.

seriously i give him a b or b-

Deng is a good SF who has been banged up alot but he is atleast at one point one of the best if not the best player on the Bulls

great scorer

pretty good defender

also a good rebounder because he has size and length

 

[FirstTimer]

C-. Limited to really nothing more than a spot up shooter. Can't really drive consistently because of his limited dribbling ability. Not a real threat from 3. Above average rebounder. Not very mentally strong. Injury bug. Average defender. Uses his length well but doesn't really have the foot speed needed to defend on the perimeter really well. Bad contract. Looks like he is going through the motions out there a lot. Heart? C- may seem low but if you think about other SF's in the NBA you could most likely name a pretty long list of guys you'd rather have.

 

[JCM]

good post FT.
