My sources have confirmed with me that Deng is working out two to three times per day, but while close to 100% isn't quite there yet. The healing process has taken longer than expected, but Luol's doing everything in his power to be ready to step up this season.
The reports of how he looks in the workouts have been universally positive though, and I've heard his shooting looks good, at least given the setting, which isn't a five on five one.
Luol Deng's shooting well, close to 100% healthy
The health issues are still cause for at least some concern though as some reports seem much more positive on his health relative to what I've heard. However, all that's really important is that Deng's ready to step up in November, and that doesn't project to be an issue.
The last two seasons have been rough for Deng, and fans have forgotten this guy is capable of shooting over 50% from the floor, helping us out tremendously on the glass and playing very good defense. A healthy, productive Luol Deng would make it much easier to forget about Gordon.
Hopefully that's the one we get.

First off, I thought you meant he was hitting 100% of his shots with that tittle.lol But this is great. We will definitly need him to be our leading scorer this year. I hhave some faith in salmons but I just wonder if last season was a fluke or a coming out party. But if we dont have Loul, that means we will heavily depend on our rookies for production and possibly to even start depending on if Kirk starts 2 or JJ starts the 3. I think his health determines our season.

I thought you meant he was "shooting" almost 100% as well.
