I homer DeRozan heavily . And I over rate him a bit .

His defence is vastly improved but he’s not a great defender

His passing ability has drastically improved but he’s not a point guard

His outside shooting has improved but he’s not a Klay Thompson

But the fact that he’s behind only harden in terms of ability to generate contact and fouls , has the best mid range game in the league ... and is adding the rest to his game ... dude is top 15 in the league no questions asked .


They should be embarrassed to have ranked him behind Jae fucking Crowder



I was originally going to just bold the first line and insert a quick rofl

Then I read the whole thing and realized it would end up being pointless to bold anything bc it would literally be 80% of this post

TLDR: rofl

Lets put respect to derozans name. Had steph's team won, he would be mvp.

Remember when espn thought he was top 50? Lmao


ty m8, ty. He's legit and it's not like he really went and lit it up in the All-Star game. But his scoring talent was made apparent. I actually thought it'd be better if Lebron hadn't tried so hard to get MVP because then Derozan would get it at home with his dying father at the game watching, his mother very ill, and after his recent break up ... BUT ... I don't actually mind it so much because Lebron is in the midst of trying to use his voice to make the USA better. I felt he needed the platform to NOT shut up and dribble.

Derozan has better footwork. Right now I'd say the top mid-range guy is Demar, with CP3, Klay and CJ right up there. Before Demar improved his mid-range game, even Fox (anti-Canadian, anti-liberty, pro slavery) rated him @ #1: https://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/the-10-best-midrange-scorers-in-the-nba-123116 AD is pretty solid in the mid-range and so is Durant, but Durant is more of a pure shooter and AD positions by the paint anyway.

Klays midrange moves has gotten alot better compared to last year but still more of a catch and shoot guy in midrange. Give him another year or two

derozan uses footwork e.g kobe to create a shot whereas durant has the more unstoppable midrange (comparable with dirk) just due to his length. Honestly you are glad when durant takes a midrange shot compared to 3's or driving to the paint.

CP3 works off of pick and rolls to create his midrange usually.

Don't watch enough blazers game to comment about cj.


Used to be melo/kobe/dirk.

Present i like derozan/lma/ad/durant for midrange
