Demar DeRozan has found a new home among the Chicago Bulls after spending three seasons in San Antonio via a 2018 trade in the offseason.
On Monday night, DeRozan scored 38 points in a 121-103 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Lonzo Ball who’s primarily known for his IQ and defense added 27 points behind star Zach Lavine’s 26 points.
“DeRozan is off to a fantastic start in his first season with the Bulls, scoring 26.9 points per game (third in the NBA behind only Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant and Golden State’s Stephen Curry) while shooting 51% from the field and adding five rebounds and four assists. DeRozan cited people calling him “washed” in recent years and questioning his fit with the Bulls as motivation for his renaissance this season,” per ABC30.
The Bulls are in a phase similar to the New York Knicks who made the NBA Playoffs last season for the first time since 2013.
13 seasons under DeRozan’s belt proves he belongs in the league and can make the best of any situation he finds himself in.
