6'6 SO G Deng Garang (@_denggarang) is TOUGH!! Garang is a long, athletic wing with a HIGH MOTOR that impacts the game on both ends of the floor. He had a great end to the season - since February 1st, Garang averaged: • 11.2 PPG • 8.0 RPG • 1.4 STL • 52.2% FG + 37.5% 3PT Garang's sky high ceiling is evident with his ability to create with the ball, rebound at a high level, and make plays on defense. Had some HUGE games this season including 20 PTS, 8 REB, & 3 STL vs. St. Bonaventure, 21 PTS & 7 REB vs. Chicago State, and 18 PTS, 9 REB, & 3 STL vs. Central Connecticut State. @risemngt @SoeliteBBall @SSN_CBB @NelCastNY

We’re excited to welcome @cmelo131 to the RISE Family! . #LetsRISE
