Has DeMar DeRozan really become one of the top SG's in the league?

[gyu]

Not too long ago people were saying he's a bad pick, and a low I.Q. basketball player but now it seems he has changed some people's opinion since the Rudy Gay trade. Will he make an all-star team?

Your thoughts ISHers

He's the new Rip Hamilton.

[Myth]

He is a top SG, but I feel that reflects more on the poor quality of the position in the league more so than the quality of DeRozan.

He's the new Rip Hamilton.

They couldn't be more different.

[Im so nba'd out]

He's the new Rip Hamilton.

im guessing you mean his numbers looks like rip cause they play nothing alike.They have the same effect on the game stat wise is what i hope you mean

He's the new Rip Hamilton.

The day Derozan actually learns to play offball like Rip used to will be the day a contender will actually want him.

They couldn't be more different.

Well one of them could have been a 300 lbs center while the other a skinny swingman... that'd be more different

[STATUTORY]

there's a dearth of talent at SG right now

He's better than Harden. He actually shows some semblance of offensive skill aside from free throw shooting and shows some life on defense

[moe94]

He's better than Harden.

One is All-NBA status, the other might not even be all-star status.

[kamil]

He sure is now... it only took a hobbled eastern conference to get there.

Right. Ask Houston and Toronto to do that trade up and we'll see which team laughs hysterically and which teams jumps on it right away.

Thats a big thumbs down with a fart noise

[I<3NBA]

he's not even better than Kobe. crippled Kobe at that.

[Legends66NBA7]

DeRozan is better than Harden on defense, but Harden is better overall and that won't change unless DeRozan improves a little more in the regular season (not very likely right now) or shows he's a better playoff performer.
