7- DeMar DeRozan – Toronto Raptors

Stats: 35.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.0 blocks

Record: 3-0

DeMar DeRozan has seemingly brought his game up another notch this year. DeRozan is scoring 35 points per game (yes, insane) while shooting 53.8 percent from the field.

DeRozan has only attempted 4 three-point shots (clearly, the weakest part of his game) this season, meaning he is getting to the basket a lot. Which is exactly what the Raptors want DeRozan to do.

If DeRozan can stick to his strengths and not get caught up in taking outside jumpers, he and the Raptors have a bright year ahead of them.
