In the second of NBC Sports Chicago’s series reviewing the main rotational players’ seasons, DeMar DeRozan still produced despite an emphasis to rely less on his isolation skills.
74 games, 36.2 minutes per game, 24.5 points per game, 4.6 rebounds per game, 5.1 assists per game, 50.4 FG%, 32.4 3PT%DeRozan finished the second season of his three-year, $81.9 million. He is due to make $28.6 million in 2023-24 and is extension-eligible this offseasonDeRozan posted 42 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in an inspired home overtime victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Dec. 28. He shot 60 percent on 25 shots from the field and 12-for-14 from the line.
Either way, DeRozan’s usage rate dropped from 30.8---the second-highest of his career---in 2021-22 to 27.2 this season. It didn’t impact DeRozan’s efficiency; he shot the same 50.4 percent. And DeRozan still got to the line over 7 times a game for his third straight season and eighth time in his career.
Even with the lingering quad injury, DeRozan logged the 11th-most minutes in the league. He’s durable. And he led the team in assists while averaging just 2.1 turnovers. “Next year, there will be more frequent from me without a doubt,” he said. “I always had this vision of my career as I get older, I will continue to expand my game. That’s a main priority and a point of focus for me to capitalize on as I get older.
