DeRozan is a guy who does best as a second or third option on a play, like the dunk highlight you posted. This was not run for DeMar, it was a pick and roll with Andrea and Jose, bad pick action up top led to Jose getting into the paint and looking for a different option than Andrea,...broken play DeRozan gets the look and does something with it.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

For every clip you find of his finish I guarantee you there has been a couple of instances where he hasn't been able to. He just hasn't developed the finishing aspect of his game (yet) to a conistent level such that Jay can rely on. If you've watched complete Raptor games, you'll realize that you had more disappointments than sighs of relief when DeRozan attacks the basket and someone actually challenges him. Don't ask for clips of those instances though (Nobody uploads clips of him not finishing, they're just not as interesting to watch).
I think part of this stems from his lack of shooting skills though. If defenders know that his jumpshot is questionable, they can sag off him a little more and prepare for a drive better, thus nullifying some of DeRozan's finishing ability. But there's no doubt (in my mind) he has to work on both. Luckily he's got time

Last year, DeMar had two moves. Spot up/one dribble j, or straight drive.
This year, better jumper, MUCH better handle, more dribble moves, much better at creating contact, better defensive awareness.
Still a long way to go. But he's getting there.Joshua Priemski

Either you settle to become a role player or get traded to a team that believes in you and will give you a second look. For every Chauncey Billups who finds his game and becomes an all-star with another team, there are hundreds of guys like Tyrus Thomas. Teams aren't going to wait years for a player to add a thing or two every year, especially when he's considered a raw prospect. They expect quick development and aren't patient enough to wait 5-6 years for a guy to develop. Demar has not met expectations and his jumper is not that much better than his first year at USC. I guarantee that he'll have this year to play out his career in Toronto and probably until next all star break but if his game doesn't improve next season drastically he and Sonny are good as gone and rightly so.
