And how has it been 7 years? For who? Bargnani? I'm pretty sure it's only been 4.

And DeRozan has more skills than simply being able to run and jump high. He's got a knack for getting to the basket and he's got a drive to improve that most players simply don't have. That's one reason I don't think he's a Harold Miner, a player with a very similar game coming out of college.
I don't think DeRozan will ever be a great player because I simply don't think he has the basketball IQ, but he's got a passion for the game that should allow him to be a very good player.
As for his role, I think scoring will always be his main skill. He's never going to be a Doug Christie, but Doug Christie never possessed the scoring ability that DeRozan does. And as I've said, being able to shoot the three is one of the most easily learned skills. All you need is a modicum of hand-eye coordination and the desire to practice it. Will DeRozan ever be a great shooter? Probably not, but there's absolutely no reason he can't end up being a good one.
