Overall:

 NBA Comparison: Grant Hill

Strengths: Versatile. Luol has an uncanny understanding of the game that allows him to play up to 4 positions on the floor. His game consists of posts ups, midrange jumpers, pull up jumpers, the long ball and a boatload of intensity. His passing skills are great for a player his size and his ability to drive to the basket makes him an even more dangerous passer. An exceptional athlete who possesses great competitive and intellectual skills, Luol has now also become a great defender. A heady player with tons of upside and a desire to be great. One of those rare players that make the others around him better. 

Weaknesses: At this age Luol is not fully physically developed. Struggles posting up players bigger than himself. Relies on athleticism for rebounds, not position. Three point shot needs to be more consistent. Other than that a super prospect. 

Notes: Luol is truly a joy to watch. He is hardworking, unselfish, an exceptional athlete and makes the game look simple. A very heady player who has the potential to be a star in league after he matures in college…Is the brother of Ajou Deng a lesser prospect, who never reached his early expectations. 

Notes: Originally from the Sudan.
