Demar has to be the WORST SG finishing around the basket I have seen in years. He has no idea how to pass the ball out of double coverage, he cannot dribble, he basically closes his eyes and prays once he hits the paint. Oh yeah, and he can barely shoot.
At least Bargnani was "cold" the first few games, Demar just sucks.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I told you all. GIVE THE BALL TO DeMAR. I don't want to sound like a broken record here but his game has improved so much this year. Shooting is much improved, passing, rebounding, creating shots, shot making, and the most noticeable one is his ball handling.Last edited by The Great One; Tue Nov 13, 2012, 02:54 AM.Mamba Mentality

I am hopeful, but he has a long way to go still.

The 37 points he scored last night look good, but he was hugely inefficient. He shot 17/33, meaning he missed more shots than any other player even attempted. He was 1/6 from 3pt land, had 5 turnovers and that clear-path foul was a backbreaker.

Btw, like i said on the other thread, the clear path foul that you were talkin about was on Kleiza not DeMar.Mamba Mentality

Who cares about the scoring?!!??!?!
Rebounds in the past 5 games:
8,6,6,1,7.
Assists in past 3 games:
6,0,7
yes there was that 0 assist game, but look at his new attitude!!
He is legit trying to get 5 rebounds 5 assists with his 20 points.
Even his steals have increased an average of 30% from last year!
He even passes the eye test. He is aggressive but more patient (The subtle rounding off of a pro skill) when driving. He is looking for the pass out of the double team, and has shown good awareness this season of the outside shooter (though no one can get those in), and he has his hands up in the passing lanes on defense.
I cant ask for a more improved demar this season. I cant wait for him, 3 years from now...The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

I like that Demar is improving his scoring in ways other than just a 3 point shot. His post game has looked really nice, and his decision making is better. I tend to think of Demar in the the same way as Rip Hamilton; a shooting guard who has leant to score inside rather than behind the 3 point line. Of course, they have two different plays styles (off ball cutting and mid range game vs. post moves and finishing inside/on the break), but generally you get the idea.

This is a good point, he's looking for things he can do other than scoring.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

Next step: Teach Demar to flop, bring his friends to Toronto.
Oh... Yeah!
