    Some more than others. I've underwent a 15 minute film session before practice, and damn it was boring as hell watching 30+ possessions...
    Don't doubt it, but if you can force yourself to focus, and really watch each possession, you could figure out anybodies top three go to moves after a session like that. A GOOD player would then be able to counter at least some of them.

    It is definitely true that Demar only has a few moves. He has improved his handles but not well enough to completely improvise in a free flowing dynamic situation. Which is why he gets tied up so often on doubles. His only answer is to try and bull his way through by taking a shot and frequently getting stripped. Opposing players are expecting that spin into a shot and know he holds the ball at a certain height when spinning, so they are ready.

    I'm not complaining about Derozan's play. He is much improved, but it is not very sophisticated at this point. And teams/players can certainly prepare for him right now.

      Yeah, certainly agreed. Demar's handles are much improved, he is able to use it as an escape, able to set up his move, but he doesn't have those counters like a crossover, or a spin move, or those extra little dribbles where he can slither around.
