so true I've said it before and i'll say it again i blame the organization for this this. demar is not a go to scorer so why are they trying to make him the man here ? the fact that demar is our go to scorer should tell you how much this team lack's talent. people on here over hyped him because the organization told you he was the man here.. lets be real here for a second, demar never had the skill set to be a go to top scorer in this league. there's NOTHING WRONG with his work ethic, he actually puts the work in the gym reason why he's put on muscle and went to work out with team USA. demar is not like brags, brags actually has the skills to be a top player in this league, brags was picked number 1 because he has the skills needed to be the man, he just doesn't give a sh*t!!!!!. demar on the other hand was supposed to be a 6th man type of player.. why do you think he was picked 9th and not higher ? he was picked 9th because he had a lot of weaknesses in his game. there's nothing wrong with his work ethic , he just doesn't have they skills needed to be a go to player in the NBA... i don't know why people on here act as if demar is some kind of huge disappointment, when in reality he went 9th for a reason, if he was supposed to be the player you guys think he should be we would not have gotten him with the 9th pick... he is what i expected him to be and thats A 6TH MAN TYPE OF PLAYER, you guys are still drinking the crap BC is selling you, then you start expecting way too much from players that are not expected to play at that level. you see the people on here talking about Vince was way better than demar.. NO SH*T SMART GUY. Vince went 5th in the draft but you can actually say he went 4th because we traded the 4th pick Antawn Jamison for him..coming out of college Vince carter had what it takes to be the man, that's why he was picked 4th and not 9th like demar. im so happy the NHL is back so these puck heads that come on here and act as if they know basketball can go back to following the NHL.Volcano wrote:I love it how stupid people overrate players and then cry when they don't meet expectations
so you blame demar for being overpaid ? that's the problem with sport fans, they're quick to blame a player for not playing up to the contract that was thrown at them. what do you expect him to say no thanks BC keep the money ? demar is what he is, he's playing to the best of his god given ability. I'd be mad if he was just standing around every game and not doing anything. this is is skill set, look what was said about him when he came out of college... people on here are expecting this guy to be on the same level with these top players in this league when he was NEVER expected to be that good... i really don't see why people are going off about demar's play. demar is not an all star, if he make's the all star team i would say he's over achieving.. you can't put demar on the same level with brags and players like kwame brown. those players were expected to be star's. coming out of the Italian league and collage these guy showed they had what it takes to run a team, then they came into the NBA and just relax and couldn't cut it. demar on the other was never expected to lead a team or be a go to player so i don't understand why all of a sudden people expect him to be some kind of elite player when nothing from his college career indicated that he would be that kind of player.. some people on here are starting to sound like the elderly, b*tching and crying after every loss, its lowry's fault, it demar's fault, it andrea's fault, it's casey fault, NO THE TEAM IS CRAP, WE LACK TALENT< MORE THAN 95% OF THE TEAMS WE'VE BEATEN WERE SUB 500 TEAMS SO WHAT ARE YOU SHOCKED ABOUT ? I DON'T GET IT.Tanger wrote:I don't doubt he works hard. The problem is that players don't get significantly better after their rookie contract (so 3 years or so). Paying him $10M thinking he will become a $10M player is ridiculous. He is going to be $4-5M overpaid.
Seriously, when has a guy taken a huge leap after their rookie deal? BC did this with Andrea and DeMar. Neither is an allstar level guy and that was obvious before the time came to extend either.

you trying to tell me demar was as talented as vince carter coming out of college ? please go back to the NHL section with the delusional leaf fans... not only was vince a better player but he had a more NBA ready body.. did you ever see vince in person when he played for the raptors ? he was taller than demar, had longer arms and he hand an NBA ready body.MoneyMo wrote:Vince Carter came into this league with no 3pt shot and limited ball handling skills. He worked on it the first few off-seasons in this league and became a superstar. DeRozan has the same flaws he's always had so I don't see how you can say he has a better work ethic then Carter when he's shown virtually zero improvement.

There's a thing called talent.

yeap, fools certain people on this board, but i never beleived in him. He's 8th pick, at best he is a bum who does not belong in the league.
