This season, the Chicago Bulls shocked the NBA with extraordinary play. With a 25-10 record, they are number one in the East and fourth in the entire NBA. DeRozan was an important part of the Bulls' rise. He has been the Bulls' main offensive option since joining the team in the offseason, especially at key moments in the game, where he hit a lot of key shots.
In the interview, Spurs coach Popovich (who has coached DeRozan for 3 seasons) talked about his performance and said he was not surprised by DeRozan's performance.
"It didn't surprise me at all. As you know, DeRozan is a great guy, great teammates. He did what he was supposed to do, and he did it so well that he took it to the Chicago Bulls. ”
DeRozan went unnoticed for most of his time with the Raptors and Spurs, and in his 12-year career, he was selected to the All-Star Team only four times. During his time with the Spurs, he wasn't even named to the All-Star team. But since coming to the Bulls, his career has taken a turn for the better.
In a recent interview, Ball highly recommended Dro in favor of being the regular season MVP for this season.
"DeRozan has been a star in this league for a long time and I think it's his best year," Ball explained to NBC Sports. "He showed everyone that he should definitely be MVP this year. He is our first choice. We always had confidence in him when he had the ball in his hand and as you can see, he stood up for us almost every time. ”
At the age of 32, no one knows how long DeRozand's level of play will last, but people don't overlook what he's done this season. In 32 games to date, he's averaged 26.9 points, five rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 49 percent from the field.
All in all, DeRozan's wonderful performance has begun to win the strong attention of fans.
