This man’s points are so empty. Him and caruso played a similar amount of minutes and scored similar amounts of points yet the difference between their games tonight was night and day. One guy doing everything possible to win and the other slowing everything down to try and score points in the isolation. Then we get to the last play of the game and the team decides to give it to the guy who is 6/19 to shoot the last shot from the exact spot everyone expected him to. Everyone in the stadium knew where he was going with that ball and they just defended it. Which is exactly what happens when you are a trash one-dimensional player. It is insane that Demar “Defraud Dabulls” Derozan can still get 40 minutes on an nba team without shooting threes or playing defense
You say all of this to hate solely on Demar when Zach has maybe the worst shot selection I’ve ever seen by a high usage guy. He has bad ball security and can’t dribble at an NBA guard level. He has the basketball IQ of a middle schooler. And gets blown by on defense pretty often.
Demar plays slow and deliberate. Zach plays fast and out of control. And you talk about dirty work. Zach has taken 1 charge his entire Bulls career. Demar has been second behind Caruso in that stat.
Demar averages 4.6 assists to 0.9 turnovers. Zach averages 2.9 assists to 2.4 turnovers. You tell me which guy is better at facilitating.
I personally think both guys should be traded. You’re not winning anything with Zach or Demar as the main guy.
