Take a deep breath people ...

This is a kid whose family fled Sudan and they ended up in Australia as refugees. I am not sure how old Deng was when they arrived, but I bet his life experiences as a kid are way beyond our understanding.

It is quite common for families from these countries to have no idea the year their kids are born in - so their "official" birth year effectively ends up a guess.

A number of Oz kids go to junior college first, mainly because they have picked the wrong year 11/12 subjects and do not qualify for NCAA eligibility with enough core courses. This is more common than you think.

So he has been in the US for 2 years for all and sundry to see play ... any Div I college picking him up know well and truly what they will get. And after another two years of development at junior college, no doubt Deng's game has progressed significantly.

As others have observed, give the kid a break - good luck with it Deng.

A lot of hate on this forum. The kid can play. Could be an early candidate to be the champ for NCAA dunk comp.

Sedale Snr is the same guy that takes massive amounts of money off parents for development of their kids and offering college spots at which he is unable to do! The guy is a fraud. Steer clear of him.

Simmons and Exum are much more grounded than Deng Deng. They have fathers who have made it Pro and understand first hand the amount of work required to make it to the highest level. Deng is just a punk!
--------------------------------------------------

Obviously you have hard feelings for Sedale Snr & Deng Deng. Obviously Deng can play if he has a scholarship to LSU! Cant people just be happy for him? He could be a future boomer maybe.

I hope the 'kid' can make the most of his natural athletic abilities - this opportunity may be just the thing he needs to helpovercome some of the issues he has contributed to over the past few years.

I'm not sure he can last more than 1 year of college myself, but I am hoping he can prove me wrong.
