West: Curry, James, Alexander,

Many friends will wonder why DeRozan performed so well, but not the best player in December?
The main problem is that the number of appearances is not enough.
DeRozan played eight games in December, as Azan was forced to suspend three games in early December after being plagued by the coronavirus. The Bulls also suffered a wave of COVID-19 infection in mid-December, which forced the Bulls to postpone three games to 22 years.
Even though the Bulls won the game in which Azan played, the number of appearances eventually led to DeRozan's defeat, which was a pity.
