His post game has improved, release is looking cleaner although he tends to fade, he elevates well and he is getting more comfortable handling the ball. He still needs consistency overall but he has taken a big step forward as a professional.
His defense, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Can you improve your lateral quicks? I'm not sure if he can but it would be nice for him to be as physical and aggressive on defense as he is scoring.

As per Eric Koreen, thanks the Bargnani's disppearing act, DeRozan instantly becomes our biggest trade asset this offseason.
DeRozan’s is the most uncertain case on the roster. On the one hand, he has quieted concerns about his ability to play alongside Gay — he averaged close to 20 points per game, getting to the free-throw line 7.5 times per game in 12 contests in February playing with Gay.
However, what was said at the time of the trade still stands: Both Gay and DeRozan cannot consistently hit the three-point shot, defend at a high level or create for others.
More to the point, DeRozan is one of the Raptors’ more intriguing trade assets. There are not many productive, young shooting guards in the league. The four-year, US$38-million contract extension DeRozan signed this off-season thus become a reasonable investment. The Raptors owe it to themselves to see if other teams agree.

Millsap seems like the only name I would even consider giving up Derozan for, but it'd still be skeptical, because like Gay, never touched an all-star game, and I don't think he'll ever be one. While Derozan could definitely get there, being so young, and already a mild impact player.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

Although, if we can get someone better now, and for the future, I would consider it. It's truly got to be the RIGHT price.
