According to Dan Bernstein, Luol Deng would be the 3rd best player on a championship caliber team.

Yes, Deng is not a #1, but he's becoming a 20PPG player, and he's only 22 years old. The guy is going to get better.

Deng could top out at 24 PPG, 7-9 RPG, and be a good defensive player.

Especially since he's working on his inside game and giving up on the 18-22 foot shots. That was a big help, I think.

I think he can get a consistent low post game as well. He's done it a few times and he looks natural at it. I mean, he doesn't do it enough but I think he can be a real good post up guy.

You guys are figuring in expected improvement. As it stands now, that claim isn't outlandish.
