For the first month of the season, there was no doubt that Luol Deng had been the biggest disappointment for the Los Angeles Lakers. In the month of November, he averaged only 6.6 points on 33.1 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three-point range.
The month of December, however, has seen Deng finally begin to come into his own. He has averaged 10.7 points on 46.7 percent from the field and 38 percent from deep and has scored in double-figures in seven of the Lakers last eight games after hitting that mark only six times in the first 20 games of the year.
