As a Raptors fan, I got a good look at DeRozan.

He defence was obviously lacking (more so then than now), and his 3 point shot (which he has markedly improved) was weak.

But that said, the rest of his game was incredible, and this guy is one of the most underrated All-Star and All-NBA calibre players since 2000.

He could attack the basket. He had likely the best mid-range jump shot in the league for much of the past 12 years, and he was a reliable playmaker and rebounder.

If Jordan could give you 30/6/6, DeRozan could give you 25/5/5 (or certainly 23/4/4).

Didn’t quite have Jordan’s post game, but his offensive game was a lot like Jordan’s for somebody who was so seldom compared to him.

We’ve seen a HIGH bar for shooting guards over the last 30 years: Jordan, Kobe, Wade, Drexler, Harden. It’s easy to overlook such a talented player as DeRozan.

Had he played in the late 80s and 90s… people would have likely seen him differently.

Underrated because lack of post season success. Sad

Kind of an out of nowhere stat, great story with Diar DeRozen being a shoe in for all-nba defense team this year too

It’s more than a fringe HOF case. DeMar is making the Hall of Fame. Maybe he’s more the ultimate compiler but compiling at the level he has for as long as he has is extremely impressive and something people don’t necessarily always take the time to take a step back and really consider. Being Very Good for a Very Long Time is extremely impressive.

List proves not all points hold the same weight. But hope Demar moves up the list

He’s the Mitch Richmond of our era if ends up getting a ring later on
