Career highlights and awards

Dhieu Abwok Deing (born 28 August 2001) is an American-South Sudanese basketball player for Dynamo of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). He played college basketball for the USC Aiken Pacers, Dodge City CC Conquistadors, and UTSA Roadrunners.

High school and college career[edit]

Deing attended High Point Central High School and was a three-time all-conference selection, as well as a two-time all-state and all-district honoree.[1]

In his freshmen year with the USC Aiken, Deing averaged 11.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Deing majored in communication.[1] He transferred to Dodge City Community College, where he averaged 19.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in his sophomore year.[2] Following the season, he transferred to UTSA, where he averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in his junior season. Deing later declared for the 2022 NBA draft and decided to forego his remaining college eligibility.[3]

Professional career[edit]

In August 2022, Deing joined the Cape Town Tigers and helped them win the South African national championship.[4]

In September 2023, Deing joined the Tanzanian club Pazi for the 2024 BAL qualification tournaments.[5] He made his debut on 19 October 2023, scoring a team-high 24 points in Pazi's win over Elan Coton.[6] Despite Pazi being unable to qualify, Deing led the Road to BAL in scoring with 22.2 points per game.[7]

In January 2024, Deing joined Burundian team Dynamo for the 2024 BAL season.[8] On 9 March 2024, Deing made his BAL debut with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in Dynamo's 73–86 win over the Cape Town Tigers.[9] However, Dynamo forfeited its following games as the team refused to wear the league's sponsor logo Visit Rwanda amidst political tensions between Burundi and Rwanda.

Deing was on the South Sudan men's national basketball team for AfroBasket 2021.[11] He contributed 11.2 points per game, helping the team reach the quarterfinals of the tournament.[2]
