10. DeMar DeRozan, Chicago Bulls

Stats: 21.6 PPG, 6.9 APG, 4.2 RPG 

DeMar DeRozan edges out to make the list and has become somewhat an underrated player in the league. He may not be as productive as he used to be during his time with the Toronto Raptors but he’s still an exceptionally good player. And he will be a good addition to the Chicago Bulls this season.

During his time with the San Antonio Spurs, he became a much-better playmaker and will bring that aspect of his game to Chicago this season. DeRozan still doesn’t have a consistent 3-point shot in his offensive repertoire and that’s the biggest reason why he won’t be ranked higher on this list.

DeRozan is just 32 years old and still has a couple of years remaining in his prime. He should find a nice resurgence in Chicago and it’ll be interesting to see how well he gels with the rest of this Bulls roster.
