Gordon finally signed, let's talk about Deng  I intended this to
come shortly after Deng signed.  But, it sat half finished for a
couple of months.  Too often people focus on the wrong aspects
of Deng's game, especially Deng's overrated midrange jumper. 
There is all too much emphasis on changing Deng's game without
acknowledging where Deng's value comes from in the first place. 
Both Deng and the Bulls need to be aware of how Deng's attempts
to expand his offensive game impacts the core of his existing
game.  Adding skills can actually have a detrimental effect on a
player's impact if those skills are used improperly.  When
Rasheed Wallace developed a 3-point shot, he certainly had more
potential as an offensive player.  And he has certainly used
that skill to make some big shots, but has it ultimately made
him a more effective basketball player on a consistent basis? 
For a season or two it did, but since then I would say no.  And
I have some similar concerns about Deng, and his quest to expand
his game.  H
