whats the word on this kid Nik?

Trying to find stuff. Looks like he transferred high schools. Kind of a do everything type guy from the wing. Area for improvement sounds like it's his handle so that he'd be able to do more leading the team and breaking guys down off the dribble. I'm trying to find out whether he's related to Luol Deng.

Damn I thought his name was Deng Dong. I was excited for the possibilities, stupid iPhone.

Would be a nice tall presence if he has an above average long range game. Same HS as Lynn Katoa.

I highly doubt it. I know Luol has an older brother, but have no knowledge of any other siblings (not to say they don't exist). Still, he's from Sudan, then the family moved to Egypt, then London, and his first appearance in the US was in Jersey I believe...also Deng is a very common Sudanese last name.

Per a source, 6-foot-6 Salt Lake City prep basketball standout Deng Deng committed to Coach Dan Monson's Long Beach State program Saturday

So that's where Dan surfaced! Interesting.
