I’m going off of like 2 maybe 3 games but I feel like even though he’s not shooting well, he’s attacking the rim more

I don’t have anything to back it up but that’s how I feel

He’s also imo while not shooting well, he’s defending better and rebounding better so to me it evens out as far as progress

He’s not going to shoot 30% forever and even if he has a down year and shoots 36% while that’s disappointing I would live with that

But idk I could be completely wrong with everything I’m saying

Nah you're probably right, I think he usually gets off to a slow start


I just felt like if you're going to marginalize him do it for a player takes you to the next level indefinitely....not a mid 30s Derozan who doesn't really change your ceiling

Even if he’s marginalized he’s not in any danger of having his development stifled

He has less touches but he can learn how to be more effective as a player with limited usage and touches at 24 (holy shit I’m thinking he’s like 22 but it’s still fine) rather than later on in his career

He can be more well rounded as a two way player from not having the 3 ball to rely on. He can learn from clayface as the kings actually have a veteran presence that’s not a Lithuanian softie, a Ukrainian bum, or javale mcgee for once

I get what Derozan does that hurts Keegan but Keegan is also learning as well

It’s not like he came and Keegan is now just a bench player, it’s not putting him in the BEST position but it’s helping more than it hurts even with the lower numbers imo

Watching some classic Kobe games and so many NBA players be randomly disappearing where the fuck is Jordan Farmar
