I really do not know anything more about Deng versus Valencia other than what I read or see on this board.

From what I glean is Deng is a real good outside shooter but not more of anything else.  To me, this sounds like an experienced Chris Bell who just left the team. Deng was almost a Syracuse portal commit but money seems to be the sticking point. Deng thinks he is worth more but the Syracuse staff have reservations on giving a non starter that much money.  Deng has two years of experience playing at Florida State.

Regarding Valencia, while very thin for his size, he is also a good outside shooter but has more athleticism than Deng. This implies he would fit better than Deng but is less experience at this level.

Both players would be a good fit for next years’ squad. While they each have two years of eligibility available there is no guarantee that either would be more than one and done due to what the portal can offer.

The coaching staff would take either player but probably only one whomever commits first.
