Yes he sucks at rebounding but that is just one of many things that he can't do. He also can't play defence, pass, shoot, or drive to the basket. So really WTF is he actually doing out there?

This.

also, nothing you have said is ground breaking or earth shattering, you are just mirroring sentiments that have already been stated by other demar haters.

i wouldn't call them "demar haters", more like realists. Just because someone's not good and people point it out doesn't mean their haters.

I believe those are the same criticism to Bargnani. 15 new threads a week + ...
Would people accept this as a reason?

Bargnani loves Toronto, so?


As I recall, Milt Palacio and Rasual Butler also loved this city

This team doesn't have much of a core outside of its young players who are still developing. We're still a long ways away from competing for anything, much less being good enough to crack .500 and make the playoffs for once

'DD can't be apart from the core ' would indicate that you consider DeRozan an integral part of this team.

'DD can't be a part of the core ' tells us that you do not want DeRozan on this team going forward.

I would think your post might read DD can't be the first option or the man or something like that? If I read this you are say the guy should be sent to D League?

Right now our core is JV there is NO other player I would not trade on a good deal to make us better! For JV it would have to be a wowing trade because his up side is very Good and unknown.

I hope T Ross can get better with his 3 shooting consistency over time but, I don't see much else. He can't create, he can't drive, his D is way overrated, he is basically a very young Ray Allen that we must pray develops his shot?? Oh he can't drive like Ray Allen. We will see?

At this point, as long as he penetrates and draws fouls I'll be content. Waiting for Ross to be the clear-cut starter..one day..

derozan is not the problem. I will evaluate him more harshly once we have bargs gone, and maybe fields. This team could have been solid if not for stupid decisions like resigning bargnani and etc. Derozan improves every year and can be a solid guard, but I think he can be apart of the core, but not the guy, just a complementary player. We need a franchise player.

We dont have any core players right now. JVal has got some potential, but unsure how that plays out.

Everyone else is blah...

Still not a reliable shooter, defender, attacker, or ball handler... As our starting SG who plays huge minutes, he's hurt us in a lot of games. If he continues to be treated like a main guy, we're in trouble for years to come.

Ross has done diddly squat since his 26-pt night against Portland on Jan 2nd. His season avg is 7ppg, 2rpg on 40% shooting, below expectations for a 22-year old "NBA Ready" SG. In contrast, DeRozan was only 20 yrs old in his rookie year when he avg 9ppg, 3rpg on 50% shooting. They're only about 1 year apart in age, so it's not like Ross has more years to improve. It's certainly not clear cut who will have the better career and Ross is definitely not already better than DD.

If BC's Raptors have a core, it's a core of mediocre role players and DD fits snugly into this "core." If you mean "core" as in core of players you build around, then they have exactly 1, JV. They would've had 2 if BC had selected Drummond, but I digress.

Wow DD must be out of $$$ from paying the other NBA player to LET him Average almost 18 & 5 there are more than 15 other teams who SG do not produce at these rates. With him sucking so much I would say he must be blackmailing them so we should D League him ASAP

Well maybe it's because no other team hands an avg player 37mins on a silver platter, seriously anyone can score 17 PPG if given 37 mins. Bring any chucker on the raps and have have him starting chucking for 37 mins I can bet you he'll at least produce 17 PPG.

Jason Collins disagrees.
