Chicago would be a playoff team right now with RJ there over Deng.
This season, Deng is averaging 17 - 6 - 2 on 47% shooting.
This season, RJ is averaging 23 - 4 - 3 on 46% shooting.
And when you consider that Deng doesn't play any defense... this isn't close.
There's a reason why Deng didn't get an extension, and Jefferson did.
And RJ does??? RJ USE to be a good defender, but now , he's not even mediocre at the moment.
