Calderon will be at least a good quality backup for the next few years and the Raptors will have an opportunity to tender him a fair-value extension.
DeRozan, although talented, has yet to establish himself as an average starter-quality player. Unless he improves his game significantly this year, it's unclear whether he is the safer or best bet when comparing him to Ross or to Fields.
I think the Raptors made a mistake by not interviewing Ed Davis before they drafted him. I don't see the high basketball IQ some see, quite the opposite actually. He's a reactive player who has yet to prove he can play well within a structured system. I like how he improved his ability to find space in the halfcourt offense last year but I also saw a player who was lost on defensive rotations all year. I am hoping his understanding of the defensive schemes will dramatically improve due to the increase of practice time but I would bet against it if it was a 50-50 bet.
I hope DeRozan and Davis will both prove me wrong.
