you guys.. dont say he can only dunk, hes dunking alot because hes so athletic compared to other highschool players, now hes got a great mid range jumper in his offense
all u niggas ,, this kiid improoved as a player , he is the new face of the RAPTORS . he shoots now more than he ever does in his career , thats y he barely has any dunks this season . if you dont belive me go to my channel n see the mix i got in there, DONT FORGET 2 SUB !!
He needs to shoot a bit more to make people respect his shot. Even if he shoots a shitty percentage it'd open things up for him a bit more, still love watching him play.
a hog that won 4 rings... if thats what it means to be a hog then im sure 100% of the players in the league wanna be a hog. But if u rather have lebron, a cocky bitch ass individual who cries after getting dunked on then its ur choice.
If Demar has A Jumper then it'll be easy to get him to play a non-athletic game (that is just less dunks), plus NBA has less tighter defense allowing more opportunities for jumpers compared to College. And they probably will need better shooters anyways they just lost Parker and Kapono, the Raps need some shooters and Demar AND Turk can provide that. Expecting this dude to be a Rookie All-First team.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you think 2 minutes of seeing him hit a few long range shots is gonna make somebody think he's not just a dunker are u even sirious just like lbj he's athletic and nothing else
Well there's a few obvios places toronto needs to improve, like there defense, there staff (sack jay triano, what was wrong with sam mitchel???) and definetly improve there bench.
The problem with Sam Mitchell is that he would tell the guys "Just score" "You need to defend", but he was never able to show them what the best way to achieve these results. He was more of a cheerleader or a "punisher", players could not relate to. He was often criticized for his lack of Xs and Os, and it was VERY evident in many important games. Jay is more in touch with the international players, as well as Bosh etc. Give him a chance!
um to ur comment on he wus "just score" i think that the opposite hes asked them to play defense its just the method in which he played didn't match with the players. it wus bryan colangelo that wants that stupid "pheonix suns" style and with the players it didn't work and Mitchell disagreed wit him thats y he wus fired. and on the give him a chance we got no choice really..plain and simple
As a huge Raps fan, I have to admit that VC was the sickest dunker to ever play the game, and offensively one of the most dangerous! He put T.O. on the bball map, but he lacks two things: heart and killer instinct, and thats what separates Jordan, Kobe, Bird and soon Bron. They don't laugh, joke and play non-chalantly. They get on the court and make you pay for 48min on offence and defence.The Tdot fans hope we get that from Demar! But thats alot to ask! He's athletic but not at VCs level!
Same here. Big Raps fan. It's easy to hate on Vince, but you can't just ignore what he brought to Toronto. He made us relevant, and we really haven't been since he left. Vince had the potential to be one of the greatest to ever play the game, but I think he wasted alot of his potential with his lack of heart. That's scary, considering how good he was playing without his motor on half the time. Vince is on his own level athletically, but Demar's got all the tools to be a superstar. Go Raps!!!
I think the T.Raps are gonna be a force in the east in probably 2 years. not next year though. I still think they're too young and inexperienced. goodluck to them.
i noe yur just sayin tht cause im from toronto too and i noe damn well toronto will never replace VINCE i noe demar is SICK but comeonn were talkin bout vince here
haha. There will NEVER be another Air Canada. Stop being in denial that losing Carter hurts. I admit that it hurts. There will never be another vince.
btw doesnt Vince shoot .400 from 3 pt range? ya he does. Id like u to tell me what Derozan shoots. Here I'll tell u .
.160
I like DeMar. But there will never be another Vince. stop hating
there might be. OBVIOUSLY, not the 3 point range, but the show stopping of vince is surely in Demar.. thats why most Nba scouts look to him and remember V.C. Gerald Green, and Iggy.
Gerald Green? ur comparing Gerald Green to Vince?! omg...
This is why Vince got so upset. Everyone just pictures him as a dunker. He is the best dunker to ever play in the NBA, but he was SO much more. He is a top not 3 pt shooter, passer, handles. Jumpshot is dirty. Hes one of the best all around players there is.
There wont be another Vince sorry. Until another player jumps a 7'2" in a game I'll CONSIDER a comparison
No but I grew up watchin Vince and have been a fan since his senior year in College. I followed his career and he easily captured me to pick hiim as my favorite player since Jordan. Hes unbelieveable and one of a kind. There never was and never will be another VC. Next year he will prove the world he's still a superstar player.
Toronto is better, but not because of Turk and DeRozan's skill. Just they have a more complete team now, n Bosh is a year older. STill my VC Raptors>New Raptors
Every One knows There will never be another VC but they just want to believe in derozan like ppl in Toronto, no disrespect but if you lived in toronto you wud feel how we feel about he betrayed us by asking for a trade but also so other stupid stuff so dats why ppl want to believe in DeRozan so it doesn't matter how good of a basketball player he was on the court, but also off the court too.
derozan is a terrific pick by the raptors..they really needed an explosive wing player who can defend.
everyone knows how much of an asset joey graham was to the raps in the games where he was playing well offensively and defensively..derozan is just a way better version of joey graham with all-star potential. This is honestly the perfect pick..it was time for anthony parker to go anyways..he was very good but just wasnt enough compared to some of the other quicker, more athletic wings
kind of like kevin durant - he was a terrible defender coming out of college..but simply b/c of his athletiscm and length, he is developing into a more decent defender.
derozan can move his feet quicker than durant, so he has some potential..either way, he's like the first all-around athletic guy to be on the raptors since carter
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Besides his shooting form he reminds me of Kobe, how he can make smart quick decisions shoot the mid- range or give you the pump fake and dunk it on your face, or even the no look twirly bird lay up. Just hope his talent can shine in a more physical and talented NBA. We've come a long way from that 16-66 season, but it was well worth it GO RAPTORS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S get rid of Bosh pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSH is too good of a player to let go... if you've noticed our team plan was jus to dump off to bosh... but now we got more options how can we lose.... were better than detroit, and philly so were making the playoffs
Hehe, you cannot gauge shooting based on highlights.
Only thing highlights show you about shooting is the players shooting form.
But in terms of shooting accuracy it tells you absolutely zero. Shaq is a horrible shooter, but if you compile clips from all his games where every once in a while he makes takes a mid-range shot and makes it, you can make shaq look like a good shooter too.
Derozan's shot needs work. But his form is decent, and he could really improve his accuracy with time.
If bosh is going to be traded lets be honest-Its going to be lee and Jordan hill for bosh and someone
Then we'll deroza Ukic and hill learning together-Bright future
On that note-This kid shows more potential then tyreke- if he stayed another year I really think he would have went first in the draft next year. He will fix the balance on his form-and improve his tripple threat.The thing that will lead him to exceed everyone is-HE LIKES TO PLAY THIS GAME. He will leave everything on the court.
he's got bad form on his jumper. Look at his right leg kick out every time. It's no wonder he shot a low percentage from 3. He needs serious work on his J to be ready to shoot NBA 3s
He has an excellent mid range game and good handles, as well as athleticism and above avg. D. If he can develop a consistent 3 then hes gonna become a superstar
Having Demar kind of give me a litle relief about bosh leaving next year. A lot will be needed to make up for Bosh but Demar looks like he's gonna be a player.
hes young and still has to work on his game a bit, but im sure bosh isnt staying i feel we should trade him now and get some good wing/ forwards. I hear we are trying to get david lee so having so many big men just doesnt feel right. if bosh leaves hopefully barnani can fill in and score more. We will have to see.
f*ckkk bosh man..i never liked this dude..he's a very weak inside presence..let him go for chrisake..he doesnt wnna be a raptor anymore..wats the point of keepin him? he's only gonna sell the game like vince..his heart aint a raptor no more..i hope this derozan dude can prove sumthin ryt away
yeah man but your only gonna get 90 cents on the dollar for bosh. I say we deal him to GSW for Ellis, Brandon Wright, Azubukie, and a filler thhough bosh might not resign there
they nearly voided his contract bro if not ellis beidrens would be nice alongside barney in the frontcourt. I also saw some rumors that ellis dosen't want to play in GS so Toronto would be a new start
yeah but we still gotta fix up our bench and i've changed my mind about bosh he's clearly excited to play with this team with all the changes so it would be kinds disrespectful to trade him now
ya that's his politically correct answer. he wants to gtfo of dodge and play with a guy like kobe or dwade. Olympics changed his priorities, he went from wanting to be the big fish in a small pond to a little fish in a big pond with many rings.
A little fish doesn't get a MAX deal and he will only play for a Max deal, idiot....he isn't worth it and no team can pay him as much as Toronto so he will opt for a sign and trade..take the money (max deal from Toronto) and force a move to a team with a real superstar...so he can bask in the reflection of Wade or LeBron, while earning as much as they do...
whats the point of chirping? are you 12 or something?
and ya basking in the reflection of someone else makes him not the big fish. He wanted to be THE guy earlier in his career, now he doesn't care about that and just wants a ring. ie. big fish/little fish analogy. Grow up.
agreed. What he really wants is maximum salary, and i don't think there's too many places other than Toronto Canada that can afford that, especially nowadays
Not a single clip of him being able to break a defender down off the dribble. He simply doesnt have the handles that are key to being a great NBA player. I hope doesnt turn out to be like Gerald Green who can only do 2 things, 1. Dunk 2. try to shoot jump shots. What separates a good player nowadays is the ability to get to the basket. I hope I am wrong but I ddnt see anything in the video to disprove this.
i agree with you. Ballers cant just be good if they're niggers and can jump real high. He will benefit from his solid J but if you can't breakdown the D, you can only go so far...not 'carter' far that is...
Demar does do other things than dunk but his jumper is STILL suspect and his overall game needs a tune up. He has great upside and he has good basketball credentials but his basketball IQ and ability to create at a college level lacks. He only shined in the latter part of his season with USC. He should develop to be a solid player and maybe even an allstar.
I don't follow the NCAA at all...so I'm forced to pick favorites based on these YouTube videos...and this Derozan kid looks like Paul Pierce when he scores...
I hope he starts at SG for the Raps next season...
But tell me, why doesnt make sense? I dont understand very well the drafts because I am from Portugal in Europe. Can you explain that to me please? :D
No, they really don't. I'm a raptor fan, and they would of made the playoffs if Shawn Marion was on the team the entire season. And by the way, there were so many injuries, Demar DeRozan is all they need man, but you can disagree if you want, I'm just a raptors fan and know whats best for the team.
You don't go from being a 33-49 team to contenders with one rook. I'm a fan of DeRozan, but he's still pretty raw, and by the time he's a solid contributor Bosh will likely be gone from Toronto.
Last season the raptors made the playoffs, This season they didn't because of oneal. Did you see at the end of the season when the raptors were winning all their games? Nothing is wrong with the raptor team, their lineup will be jaw-dropping once they get derozan. If you'd actually watch every raptor game you'd know what im talking about, but then again everyone underrates teams like the raptors
k all u fags hating on the raptors can suck a fucking dick...giving our comments -1 for everything...the days of the celtics are over the bulls took them to 7 and that too without luol deng...pffff...the cavs are a big time threat as well as the magic...id give raptors anywhere between 4th-5th in the east next year...and as far as bosh leaving thats not really known yet ppl though kobe was leaving too? just cuz vince left doesnt mean bosh will too...
I actually like the Raps, but it's clear that they need to make some changes. Calderon CANNOT run an uptempo offense, and his numbers are deceptive.
If I was the Raptors, I'd look to draft James Harden instead of DeRozan, or look to trade up for him.
I will agree that injuries bogged them down, but it's clear they are not on the level of Cleveland, Orlando and Boston. You must also be forgetting that the Celts were without KG in the Bulls series.
calderon is def not an uptempo point guard he is more of a half court set point guard but he is solid and his turnover to assisst ratio is extremely low. As far as the raps not being at the level of the other 3 teams thats true. However the celtics are a team that you just can stop hating, its putting 3 guys who never made it on their own and putting them on a team gimme wade, james and bosh ill win u championship after championship. Apart from Ray Allen both the other 2 are douche bags.
Raps record in '05-'06 season: 2755 , After Drafting Bargnani, 06-07: 47-35, granted there were alot of changes, Garbo, Parker, TJ, but alot can change in the offseason, and the Raptors just need a 2 gaurd with D and athletism and toughness, this can be the guy
You agree on what??????????????? The Raptors need a major makeover they're too damn soft and any of those players you just mentioned are killin your beloved franchise
Was that last play to win a big game? or was it just an absolute sweeet shot. And how bout damar playing good in his first NCAA tourney game ever. USC beat Boston College.
What was that last play? Was it to win a big game cuz the students even went onto the court? Hay how bout deroz showing some good wits in the NCAA tourney. USC over BC. Not a prediction thats a final.
if i can't shoot for shit, i can shoot footage of me playing ball for years and only keep the clips where i make my three point shots too, this doesnt prove much
Top Guard in the Nation?? really...What's his basketball IQ like?
A lot of players look good in edited clips and against lesser competition..I need to watch me a USC game to see if he really is all that..but they're not ranked so we'll never get to see him in the East coast until March Madness....if they make it!
but yeah i guess if you want to find a reason to hate him for no reason you could argue that he is willing to take every shot whether his team mates are open or not
making tough shots + athletisism = a good baller, not comparing him to kobe but those are the kinds of shots he has to make almost every play, anyone can be a good spot up shooter, being the best means you have a good stroke coupled with being an athlete to create your own opportunities for you to score
he kinda reminds me JR Smith now that i think of it...

Th3PAC1 2 years ago
but the thing is, were not getting any good offers for bosh as of right now so were gonna have to keep him until we do.
raptorsfanfoeva 2 years ago
unfortunately what u said is true..i am hoping that atleast by the middle of next season, we get an offer for him..
Th3PAC1 2 years ago
yeah man but your only gonna get 90 cents on the dollar for bosh. I say we deal him to GSW for Ellis, Brandon Wright, Azubukie, and a filler thhough bosh might not resign there
bwest92 2 years ago
no way are they gonna give us ellis
darkcoc101 2 years ago
they nearly voided his contract bro if not ellis beidrens would be nice alongside barney in the frontcourt. I also saw some rumors that ellis dosen't want to play in GS so Toronto would be a new start
bwest92 2 years ago
cb4 the 8th best player out there and the 4th best PF.... were not gonna find a guy like this again. We got Micheal Jordan Turkey now so were set...
darkcoc101 2 years ago
yeah but we still gotta fix up our bench and i've changed my mind about bosh he's clearly excited to play with this team with all the changes so it would be kinds disrespectful to trade him now

murda2005 2 years ago
ya that's his politically correct answer. he wants to gtfo of dodge and play with a guy like kobe or dwade. Olympics changed his priorities, he went from wanting to be the big fish in a small pond to a little fish in a big pond with many rings.
wulfio 2 years ago
A little fish doesn't get a MAX deal and he will only play for a Max deal, idiot....he isn't worth it and no team can pay him as much as Toronto so he will opt for a sign and trade..take the money (max deal from Toronto) and force a move to a team with a real superstar...so he can bask in the reflection of Wade or LeBron, while earning as much as they do...
joolsca 2 years ago
whats the point of chirping? are you 12 or something?
and ya basking in the reflection of someone else makes him not the big fish. He wanted to be THE guy earlier in his career, now he doesn't care about that and just wants a ring. ie. big fish/little fish analogy. Grow up.
wulfio 2 years ago
agreed. What he really wants is maximum salary, and i don't think there's too many places other than Toronto Canada that can afford that, especially nowadays
natno 2 years ago
Not a single clip of him being able to break a defender down off the dribble. He simply doesnt have the handles that are key to being a great NBA player. I hope doesnt turn out to be like Gerald Green who can only do 2 things, 1. Dunk 2. try to shoot jump shots. What separates a good player nowadays is the ability to get to the basket. I hope I am wrong but I ddnt see anything in the video to disprove this.
leonang 2 years ago 3
I agree. And those jumpshots he's hitting are gonna be tougher-defended in the NBA.
kraze21 2 years ago
i agree with you. Ballers cant just be good if they're niggers and can jump real high. He will benefit from his solid J but if you can't breakdown the D, you can only go so far...not 'carter' far that is...
NBAScout 2 years ago
Demar does do other things than dunk but his jumper is STILL suspect and his overall game needs a tune up. He has great upside and he has good basketball credentials but his basketball IQ and ability to create at a college level lacks. He only shined in the latter part of his season with USC. He should develop to be a solid player and maybe even an allstar.
Raptors need a guy like this.
kiliop 2 years ago 3
This shows Demar hitting jump shots against High Schoolers. I'm still waiting for the clips that show him hitting jump shots against college ballers.

cause derozan is a certain top 10 pick

How does it make sense to you is the better question?
Do you confuse "draft" with "auction"?

jaybirdful 2 years ago
hopefully the raptors pick him up....
sam3er 2 years ago 2
Yes hopefully. This is just what they need. Put anthony parker on the bench and put in Demar Derozan. They will be top contenders.
TheCrossov3r 2 years ago
They'll need more than DeRozan to be contenders.
RoboAlaska 2 years ago 3
No, they really don't. I'm a raptor fan, and they would of made the playoffs if Shawn Marion was on the team the entire season. And by the way, there were so many injuries, Demar DeRozan is all they need man, but you can disagree if you want, I'm just a raptors fan and know whats best for the team.
TheCrossov3r 2 years ago
I'm not trying to hate, I'm just being realistic.
You don't go from being a 33-49 team to contenders with one rook. I'm a fan of DeRozan, but he's still pretty raw, and by the time he's a solid contributor Bosh will likely be gone from Toronto.
RoboAlaska 2 years ago 2
Last season the raptors made the playoffs, This season they didn't because of oneal. Did you see at the end of the season when the raptors were winning all their games? Nothing is wrong with the raptor team, their lineup will be jaw-dropping once they get derozan. If you'd actually watch every raptor game you'd know what im talking about, but then again everyone underrates teams like the raptors
TheCrossov3r 2 years ago
k all u fags hating on the raptors can suck a fucking dick...giving our comments -1 for everything...the days of the celtics are over the bulls took them to 7 and that too without luol deng...pffff...the cavs are a big time threat as well as the magic...id give raptors anywhere between 4th-5th in the east next year...and as far as bosh leaving thats not really known yet ppl though kobe was leaving too? just cuz vince left doesnt mean bosh will too...
sam3er 2 years ago
Chill out dude, it's not that big of a deal.
I actually like the Raps, but it's clear that they need to make some changes. Calderon CANNOT run an uptempo offense, and his numbers are deceptive.
If I was the Raptors, I'd look to draft James Harden instead of DeRozan, or look to trade up for him.
I will agree that injuries bogged them down, but it's clear they are not on the level of Cleveland, Orlando and Boston. You must also be forgetting that the Celts were without KG in the Bulls series.
RoboAlaska 2 years ago 2
calderon is def not an uptempo point guard he is more of a half court set point guard but he is solid and his turnover to assisst ratio is extremely low. As far as the raps not being at the level of the other 3 teams thats true. However the celtics are a team that you just can stop hating, its putting 3 guys who never made it on their own and putting them on a team gimme wade, james and bosh ill win u championship after championship. Apart from Ray Allen both the other 2 are douche bags.
sam3er 2 years ago
, douche bags. Lol the only reason they won a championship is because of Kevin Garnett. Hes the best player on the fucking team

Raps record in '05-'06 season: 2755 , After Drafting Bargnani, 06-07: 47-35, granted there were alot of changes, Garbo, Parker, TJ, but alot can change in the offseason, and the Raptors just need a 2 gaurd with D and athletism and toughness, this can be the guy

but yeah i guess if you want to find a reason to hate him for no reason you could argue that he is willing to take every shot whether his team mates are open or not

whys there a sound in the background like a cellphone on vibrate?
JezzWat3vr 3 years ago
The only thing I did see here was a series of bad shot selections. Most of them were well defended but went in mainly because of his athleticism.
Taking and making bad shots is no proof that he is a good baller, actually it shows the opposite.
doenerfreibier 3 years ago
making tough shots + athletisism = a good baller, not comparing him to kobe but those are the kinds of shots he has to make almost every play, anyone can be a good spot up shooter, being the best means you have a good stroke coupled with being an athlete to create your own opportunities for you to score
dennisthamenace206 3 years ago
well if you can make all of them with ease, then i wouldnt really call them bad shot selections
