Is Demar DeRozan one of the worst SG's in the league?

[sammichoffate]

No three point shot, no defense, very little playmaking, heavy usage for only 20ppg, the analytics don't like him either.

Sounds like a modern MJ

No playmaking
No range
Limited size
Decent defender

Yup. It

Precisely why I have always maintained that the Raps getting rid of him was addition by subtraction.

Also when you add Kawhi and Lebron moves to the other conference.

For his career Derozan is averaging 20 ppg with an EFG of 46.6% in an era where the rules have been changed to increase offense. He is only 30 so he hasn't gone through the decline that inevitably happens when players age.

For his career Jordan averaged 30 ppg with an EFG of 51%. Obviously his last two years in DC brought down his averages a bit.

Pretty big disparity in the numbers, not to mention Jordan's 9 1st team All-NBA defense awards.

Youre seriously posting a thoughtful reply to that trolling idiot?

Not great and bad are thousands of miles apart....

It really is ridiculous how many people have trouble with the idea that guys who are merely borderline all stars aren

DeRozan needs to be a bench player/super-sub. He has one of the most painfully low BBIQ's in the league.

He is not bad at all. He is decent to average good. In a pool of 500 or so players, most guys (even most starters) won't be great relative to others. Is DeRozan a top 50 play? No. Bottom 100? No. Worst SG? Absolutely not.


I'd say he is a 'good' player slowly becoming average by NBA standards, if by good we mean the top 150, by bad the bottom 150 and average the remaining 200.

People genuinely can

People genuinely can’t get their minds around this concept.

He sucks. He isn’t worth max money and good luck winning a championship with him as a starter playing big minutes.

[Kblaze8855]

He “sucks” to people who don’t have the means to describe non extremes, there are like 30ish max players out of 450, and at a glance 17 people have been inducted to the HOF without winning as a starter....in just the last 5 years.

Demar has been a run of the mill all star. 4-5 time all star....won 4-5 playoff series. He’s had a real nice career. Something along the lines of Steve Smith or Hersey Hawkins if they didn’t have Jordan eating up all the all star selections. Better than that really career wise.

He’s just another victim of extremist fans who think everything is either boiling or freezing.

He’s warm. Almost at a simmer.

[tpols]

Derozan doesnt suck...

for example, westbrook sucks. at basketball.
