before injury i expected (still do) DeMar will improve on his game and become a harden-like scorer

i think his FG% will rise in the future

Hell no. That's mad disrespectful.

Derozan is nowhere near the ball handler, slasher, finisher, or anything that Harden is. Nor is he as crafty, smart, and tricky with the ball.

harden-like =/= on hardens level

when it comes to guards getting to FT line there is Harden, Derozan, then everyone else

his driving ability (when healthy) is one of the most lethal in the NBA, when you talk about shooting guards there are no players better than harden and derozan at driving and/or creating for themselves

Every time I see DeMar I see him not playing aggressive and doesn't seem to impose his will on the game like Klay does. DeMar is a better talent though

there is no doubt demar is more offensively skilled tho...right?

Depends on how you weigh shooting as a skill on offense. Klay is a much better shooter, if you value shooting highly as a shooting guard then yes, Klay is more skilled, because his shooting would outweigh DeMar's advantages.

DeMar is better pretty much at everything else offensively, so if you don't think shooting matters as much as the other things then certainly. I would take DeMar in a 1 on 1 against Klay. But if I'm looking for a shooting guard then you take Klay.

even if you did hold shooting the ball highly, how would he more skilled when shooting is one of many ways to score points?

:russ:

Derozan shot a below 53% TS and you wanna say that he's a Harden type scorer? Harden is a hyper efficient and far more versatile than Derozan who is Extrenely inefficient.

Fukk outta here. Just getting to the line doesn't make him Harden-esque.

That's nothing like Harden. Harden is a high scoring playmaker who can punish defenses with long range Shooting and attacking the rim.

Derozan is an AWFUL shooter.

Lmao is Derozan like a young MJ too just because he attacks the rim? Derozan isn't very creative, he's not a great ball-handler, he's not a great shooter, and he's an average passer.

How exactly is he like Harden?

your making this bigger than what it is :mjlol:

I said his offensive style/skills is harden-like

>your talking about playmaking and passing

me saying he's harden like is purely based of his ability to get to the line and finish round the rim, AGAIN he doesn't do those things as well as harden does.

The 6
Derozans an improving ball handler. He had a nice move in transition yesterday at the end of the 1st, just came after the buzzer. He can make plays in transition while protecting the ball. He can score on off ball cuts. Get dunks and teardrop floaters. His only weakness is the 3 and that he's been injured. He's been really good the last couple of games and should have a big second half of the season if he can stay healthy.
