Shooting Guards
1. DeMar DeRozan
Stats: 34 points, 5 rebounds
Consistency, consistency, consistency. No other words reign true for DeRozan who has achieved eight 30+ point performances throughout the Raptors’ first nine games this season. While you can label this as a “small sample size”, you can’t scoff at the numbers that DeRozan is putting up.
Through the season’s first three weeks, DeRozan is currently the leading points scorer in the NBA – averaging 34 per game, and is sporting career-highs in rebounds (4.8 per game) as well as eFG percentage (53.8 percent). DeRozan’s shortcomings may still lie from the perimeter, shooting only 21.4 percent, however that proves to be the only aspect of his game that’s lacking at this point.
