Lowry is a downgrade, we all know that, but our PG depth overall is stronger. Lowry is a great player, just not a superstar like Westbrook.
Ppat is a great role player
Adn DC is better than any wing Durant has with him now.

They replaced Perkins with Kanter but don't have a wingmate for KD.
But you're right, they do have a solid starting unit.

You are comparing a guy who has been consistently excellent with a guy who has one year that is a serious aberration from his career to date. Player A's career WS/48 average is .145. Player B has never hit that value in any one year of his career.

Just watch them play - even that similar midrange game is different. LMA commands a lot more respect, draws doubles much more quickly and frequently, and just bends the defence in a way that DeMar never has."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Also a great point that a PF shooting a 16 footer is pulling a rim protector and rebounder 16 feet away from the basket, while a SG taking the same shot is actually drawing a perimeter defender closer to the basket and clogging up the floor."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

DeRozan on the other hand, as a SHOOTING guard, shot 35% and 29%.
Of course he was injured so let's look at his cherry picked year: 39.5% and 30.5%.

I don't think DD's as bad as you guys make him out to be. From reading this thread you'd think he isn't good at anything.
EDIT: At this point I think I'm just going to wait and see how he plays this year and then what Masai does afterwards (or during). No sense debating this, because at the end of the day whatever Masai does people are going to co-sign it in the end lol cause they know the man's a basketball genius.Last edited by JWash; Mon Aug 24, 2015, 09:23 PM.

Take some time off people
If another MOD wants to reopen it in a little bit fine...but nobody is saying anything new or relevant and I have three more reported posts in my inbox...clearly talking about DeRozan is impossibleLast edited by thead; Mon Aug 24, 2015, 09:51 PM.For still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

Yes, Bismack doesn't have a mid-range game. But he's athletic and a monster dunker, defender .... And young.
Just trying to understand the options. I'm sure you've all read the July article on Bruno's development:
http://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/n...bruno-caboclo/
But I'm not a fan of Michael Grange, personally. And I suppose it's just nice guys saying nice things. But the claim is he's really been learning. Honestly I'd rather he became Kevin Durant than sign KD. Not the Bruno thread, I know (but it's not the Demar thread, either). Any chance the kid can use his natural gifts to any real use this year?"Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed
