Maybe Beverly is matched up against the top guy on the other team every night regardless of height difference, maybe against premiere PGs Beverley goes into beast mode and shuts them down and relaxes on the mid-level ones, maybe Beverley's numbers are less impressive because he has to carry the load since 3 out of the 4 other players he plays with only see defence as that thing that happens before they get the ball in their hands again.
I do agree with you that Lowry is a top level defender though, but from what I've seen from Beverly that dude is tenacious, he's the dude where offensive players hate having to deal with him. Does that mean he's better than Lowry, no, not necessarily. I think we'll know better from the playoffs when both are playing against teams that are prepared for them.

Lowry is very good, not trying to knock him at all, but Beverley's impacts (on defence) are greater from what I've seen. Beverley benefits from not having to do as much on offence as Lowry, so he can expend 90% of his energy on D, while Lowry needs to do both; perhaps Lowry could do all the same things in a different role, but as it currently stands, based on what I've seen, Beverley has the greater impact on defence.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

People are really invested into the game emotionally and are bound to overreaction to bad plays or runs from the opponent. Someone going through the thread from the beginning and nitpicking peoples posts after the fact and adding a snarky comment is just as or more annoying IMO.
Want me to ignore overreactive comments? Then ignore mine.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Quick eye test, but Demar seems to do really well at getting foul calls outside of the lane via fakes. No way to quantify (that I know of) but I'd wager a large proportion of his foul calls aren't from contact at the rim. Sometimes these types of foul are "play on" in the playoffs, but we'll have to see.
I think the match-up could very well determine how often we get the benefit of the call. I think we'll get more calls our way against a Washington or Charlotte than we would against the Nets.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Demar Derozan is not a franchise player does anyone disagree with this statement? He can barely shoot 3s. Every time he tosses up a 3 pointer I cringe. The only 3 he can hit a fairly decent clip is the corner three but he doesn't use it often enough. All I'm saying is that I'm not sold on building this team around demar as a primary option. I think we need to do a roll call with our players, we should be playing an inside oust side game rather than being trigger happy with long 2s. That just doesn't cut it IMO.We all make mistakes... Tanking is not the answer.. This squad can ball! Let it roll!!
