LOL:
Here we have Boston's Jaylen Brown, giving Derozan a 90% chance on the last shot:
Derozan himself? Well he doesn't give a number, but making it while sleeping sounds pretty high!
Teammate and buddy in crime Kyle Lowry weighs in at a more conservative 80%:
Coach and father figure Dwane Casey? Well let me tell you, his numbers call it a 99.9% accurate shot!
Ah, and then reality: slightly UNDER 50% (which isn't that bad, just makes exaggeration hilarious)
Here we have Boston's Jaylen Brown, giving Derozan a 90% chance on the last shot:
“To be honest,” Brown said, “that’s a shot DeMar DeRozan probably hits nine times out of 10.”
Echoed DeRozan: “I make that in my sleep.”
“He’s going to make it eight out of 10 times,” said Raptors teammate Kyle Lowry.
“I thought it was a great look,” added Toronto head coach Dwane Casey. “He shook him, he was wide open, vaulted up, and I’ll take that shot 999 times out of 1,000.”
Ah, and then reality: slightly UNDER 50% (which isn't that bad, just makes exaggeration hilarious)
According to Basketball-Reference.com, DeRozan has hit 42.7 percent of 2-point jumpers from 10-16 feet for his career (the NBA called it a 10-footer). The last two seasons he has been close to 50 percent from that range. Considering the level of difficulty for a lot of his attempts, that’s great accuracy, but not quite automatic.
