A well-deserved bit of recognition for DeMar DeRozan, who has enjoyed the best six-week stretch of his career to end the regular season.

DeRozan wrapped up a tremendous April, which saw him average 24.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists on 58.1 true-shooting percentage and a +8.1 per game in seven games of play. The Raptors went 5-2 over that time and managed to set a new franchise-high in wins at 49.
DeRozan joins Kyle Lowry, who won the award for his strong showing in December. The only other Raptors award winner in franchise history was Chris Bosh in 2007.
Congratulations, DeRozan! Keep it up in the playoffs!
