If it is based on play-off performance, Dipo's 5 career play-off games are arguably somehow worse that Derozan's.
Nope
It's based on DD's regular and playoff performances. He folds then matters.
The fact that Derozan has led his play-off bound team in scoring through both the regular season and play-offs for 5 consecutive years seems to suggest you're wrong - especially when you realize that it's something Oladipo has never done - in fact, this season right now is the very first one he's even lead his team in scoring, period.
I find it odd to tout a guy who has only made the play-offs once (while riding Westbrook's coattails), has never been out of the first round, and who has never lead his team in scoring in either the regular season or play-offs as this clutch messiah who is somehow vastly more clutch than a guy that has accomplished all of that.
I wish you guys all the best - I like your team and can't wait to see GR3 play with Dipo. So please don't be offended by my opinion. I come in peace. Now, if you wish to discuss the merits of his Dipo's play THIS season versus Derozan's you could have a case if you then discarded team records and such.
Nahhh, all is good. DD's problems performing in the clutch situations have been talked about endlessly on Raptors board. That's a big dent in his armor. DD and Raptors proved their worth in the regular season for years now, but they need to go further.
Dipo made immediate huge impact on Pacers. Pacers were projected to be nobody. But they are not. Of course, the sample size for Dipo is small, but we are talking about this season, right?
Anyway, who is a starter - it's 50/50. Plenty of good pointers to back both sides. I, personally take Dipo, but have no problems with people taking DD's side too. He always was stellar, constant and last two seasons DD improved his game thus helping Raptors to improve too.
Peace.
