Most and Least Improved Players in the NBA

Perhaps the most underrated player in the NBA is Luol Deng. Only standing 6'8, he seemingly has one of the longest wingspans in the game, as he gathers nearly seven rebounds a game, averages around 18 points, and 1.5 steals. Most experts believe Ben Gordon is the offensive catalyst for the Bulls, but Luol Deng is the most consistent player on the Chicago Bulls' squad, with his nearly flawless baseline moves. Deng was supposed to be the odd man out after Tyrus Thomas was drafted, but due to Nocioni's inconsistency, Deng has taken over the forward position and become an offensive and defensive threat.

As a resident of Chicago, I'm totally in agreement with SprtsFanatic! I would much rather part with Gordon than Deng. Luol may not be pouring in 20-30 points a game, but he does a lot more than just score. He and Tyrus Thomas should make an excellent SF-PF combo in the future.
