Everything Demar Derozan

[NoPropsneeded]

It's been a while, but maybe you just hung around with a different crowd. Or maybe times have changed. The guy's 22 years old. I had travelled and worked abroad for a year by myself, was nearly done my university degree and was living with my future wife, by that age.

im 15 i wouldn't know but IMO he's pretty mature, and by mature i mean not like michael beasley or andray blatche.

Ahhhhh, to be 22 again. Most of it is a blackout so it would be nice to go through it again.

go through it all again blacked out? lol that's what would happen to me most likely.

My 9 year old daughter is mature compared to those guys.

Nice one. But I think you got on the guy pretty hard. I think he meant that at least he takes the game very seriously(or makes an impression of that) and he really is more mature compared to 80%(just a number - no research ) of the 22 year olds in the NBA.

I didn't realize I "got on the guy" at all. I just don't think DeRozan is exceptionally mature for his age. I think he takes the game seriously, which is excellent, and I don't think he's immature at all, but I don't think you can say that since he's more mature than guys like Michael Beasley and Andre Blatche, then he must be mature for his age. That's like saying since a girl isn't as good looking as Scarlett Johansson, then she must be ugly.

I agree with Tim, Demar is not immature but he is not someone you can point and say he is mature (the kid still likes flashy cars, new school rap, bling and hanging/following around questionable character guys like Jennings and J.R Smith). On the basketball court he seems like a worker which is a good thing.

It will be interesting if he gets better whether the fame will go to his head and starts to think like he is a cool motherf*&%er like Chris Bosh did.

[Raptorsss]

He's got good parents who raised him the right way and he has who he likes to party with. I say that's the best of both world's. Knows when to be mature and when to act his age.

He is officially a threat from Deep. Can't nobody say Otherwise.

ADD 10 / 16 (63%) now. Amazing. Demar is LOVING it too. He's deserves this. He's worked his butt off.

[DoNDaDDa]

ya... good for him.. id expect those #s to go down... people will start defending him closer on the perimeter...which in turn should open up more opportunity to drive to the hoop.... hopefully he dont go fallin in love with the junp shot like VC did! LOL

[RaptorsFan4Life]

Quite an improvement from 5/54 (9%) last season.

[ceez]

It's his confidence taking them that strikes me

Jesus H. Christ and for the love of all that is honest, good, and pure, knock on some damn wood immediately.

Yeah, there's no hesistation in taking them.

[Bendit]

I havent seen a Raptor dominated game since....

I am actually more amazed at Bargs transformation. Give Casey a raise.

I'll wake up tomorrow and this maybe a dream. Great balanced play.

It's looking like he really shot about 1000 a day over the summer. Nevertheless (and hardly worth mentioning), he probably won't keep this percentage up.

[Mack North]

Maybe he's our Derrick Williams from Arizona last season?

[e2thed]

He looked like the opposite of Butler out there.

[NoPropsneeded]

once they start guarding him closer we'll see a lot of baseline dunks and posters.

I'll be more than happy with 40%

[big red]

In other words, he hit as many threes in one game as he did all of last season.
