Find me other starting 2guards in the playoffs shooting that much better. I'll wait.

lol, how about the first one that pops in to most peoples heads. Klay Thompson

.481 FG/ .446 3P

[KeonClark]

You guys really want to tank that badly eh lol

Didn't you want to trade our best player for the point guard running the show on the Nuggets? Seems you want to tank

For me, it's simply a conclusion that this core of DeRozan, Lowry and Jonas isn't good enough to build around....and there's no reason to believe we can lure a big name free agent here, so it's either (1) stick with the mediocre team we've got, or (2) rip it apart and take our chances with the draft.

I prefer the latter.

I had a productive proven player coming back. I wasn't saying trade him to tank. There is an drop off of you get Lawson.

.481 FG/ .446 3P

Now compare his team compared to DD.

The thing is I don't think Masai does.

Or the other one that pops into heads, James Harden. .457 FG%, .379 3P%

Or another one that might pop into heads, Butler .450 and .394

You could stretch the argument with excuses all day long. Fact is demar is an average at best shooter with very poor shot selection.

Excuses Excuses Excuses

[Abbas]

Lmao yes just show everything without the atrocious shooting %'s

Oh and his defense was horrible as well just like the rest of the team

lmfao he arguably played the best D comparing to anyone else on the team

[Abbas]

The only reason he even got up to those numbers is because he played 40 MPG. If your out there for that long you have to do something

excuses excuses excuses

[MACK11]

Leaving Otto Porter wide open the entire series is good defense? Or Bradley Beal making him look like fool?

[Chr1s1anL]

So the fact that no one else on the team could take off any pressure of DD is an excuse alright. The players you guys just named have a mvp as a backcourt mate. It would be impossible to think that playing with an MVP would take pressure off you. Jeez what am I thinking.

Your question was find me another starting 2 guard who can put up better shooting %'s. When other people found some you changed the entire subject.

Bleahcerreport ranked his D 37/40 and wrote this about his D

"He may have trouble tracking defenders through traffic and can often be taken out of his stride by a well-timed screen, but DeRozan is a stellar defender who often takes on some of the Toronto Raptors' hardest defensive assignments. Though some metrics don't view him too favorably, he passes the eye test due to his level of involvement and willingness to accept matchups that will only depress his individual numbers. It shouldn't be at all surprising that the Canadian representatives are better at preventing points when he's on the floor. "

Not bad for a down year

last year he was 84/100 in total and this year he's a 77/100, expect him to get up to mid/high 80's once the season starts again


Last year he got a 36/40 on his D and they said this about it

"DeRozan's reputation on the defensive end might not be as sparkling as some of the more well-known standouts, but it should be. No player in the NBA has been better at shutting down players in isolation, and his only real on-ball flaw comes when he gets caught in a post-up situation without a weak-side defender giving him support."
