You right, Demar killed shyt both times he played the Warriors but put of the 2 times we played them last season he scored maybe 8 points at the most with Klay on him. He cooked Iggy and Barnes and Steph. You right tho about Klay not being the 3rd option. He did take more shots than Lee so he's the 2nd option.
If they switch teams, dermar would be everything the Warriors need to run a long Curry.

C'mon breh I hold no bias. Do you think Derozan's 43% shooting with no threes or defense is anything special in todays game? He's the type of player who would be popular in the 90's and early 2000s before advanced analytics, but now we know better. He's a solid player don't get me wrong, but inefficient volume scorers are nothing to hype up nowadays.

You saw him in the summer and pre season,hes gonna shoot the 3 at 35 % and that FG % will be up this year.Hes improved his handle as well,hes not going to get stripped as much in traffic...You can look at that 43 % and its shytty but like cats been said in this thread he has to carry a huge offensive load and without alot of direct assisting on his baskets...

We saw him last year all season have to create for himself and go at defenses 1 on 3 when his teammates werent making plays or hitting shots...it drags your % down.

That being said he had a big leap last year and hes going to take another big leap this year,im predicting 25/5/5 on 45/35/90

I admire what hes doing and what hes become,hes come along way in 5 years...

We'll just have to see breh breh, he's made progress every year but that's a pretty big jump you're expecting him to take.

Based on the fact hes definitely improved his handles esp left handed and is making 3s since summer...

This doesn't help your argument. Klay is a lot better on defense which probably helps his ranking. This thread is about who's better on offense. Demar has also improved his ball handling a lot this summer.
