DeRozan is in quarantine due to the triggering of health and safety protocols, and the Bulls have had the same experience as DeRozan. At present, DeRozan has surpassed Maddy in total career points, so what does DeRozan have to do to surpass Maddy in his historical position?
After joining the Bulls this season, DeRozan averaged 26.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, and his career total score reached 18,384 points, currently ranking 72nd in NBA history, surpassing Maddy (18381 points).
Maddy's popularity is quite high, and this mainly comes from his 2-point winning and pleasing playing style. And if DeRozan wants to surpass Maddy, the first thing to do is to cut the score. But that's almost impossible for DeRozan, who is now 32 years old.
In terms of the number of All-Stars, DeRozan is also currently behind Maddy. This season, DeRozan has a good chance of being selected as an All-Star in the East Side, but even so, he is still 2 times less than Maddy. DeRozan has only been named to the All-Roy Squad twice so far, five times less than Maddy.
In summary, DeRozan is currently far from Maddy in terms of personal honors. If he wants to surpass Maddy in terms of historical status, he seems to have only one way left in Huashan, that is, to lead the team to win the championship, and it is the core main force. Maddy has made the playoffs nine times in his career, but the first eight times, whether in the Raptors, Magic, Rockets or Hawks, were all out of the first round.
It wasn't until the 2012-13 season that Maddy reached the Finals with the Spurs, but he was now a completely marginal player on the team, playing 7 times in 31 games in the playoffs, not scoring a single point, and the Spurs also rubbed shoulders with the championship, and Maddy finally retired with the regret of not having a championship.
Therefore, if DeRozan can lead the team to win the championship as a main player, then in the comparison with Maddy, he has a heavy weight. Will he get his wish? (Supine Braces/Hairy)
