Message: [QUOTE="Hogtowncuse, post: 2437344, member: 541"] I think the DeRozan comparison is a good one. When DeMar first came into the league, he couldn't shoot at all...everything was dribble/drive and make the layup or get to the line. He gradually made himself into a very capable 18 foot shooter and this year has been making (and taking) many more 3s. Similar strength and size...coupled with similar courage going to the hoop...not everyone has this characteristic. Surprised no one has considered how next year might be a springboard to move up in draft position. With a much better inside game (especially if OB stays) and therefore much more room to operate and dish, etc. he could turn into an elite offensive player...and IMO could turn into a 10-15 draft pick vs today at about 25+. Don't think it's likely he will feel that way but his advisors should at least have him consider that. [/QUOTE]
