Warren2ThaG Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 http://media.thestar.topscms.com/images/2c/4e/a39b154e465e86afd0e29a430395.jpeg---------DeMar DeRozan a starter by default"Antoine Wright's injury is making life easy for Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan. And that ticks off coach Jay Triano. Wright, the forward who has yet to play a pre-season game because of a swollen knee, should be making life miserable for DeRozan, who is being ceded a starting role almost by default. The coach is unimpressed by that because he wants competition for jobs."---http://www.thestar.com/sports/basketball/nba/raptors/article/711920--demar-derozan-a-starter-by-default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 What about Bellinelli, is he not gonna be a starter? If derozan can play solid D, i have no problem with him starting. the better defender between him and Wright should start imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I still think DeRozen is way too raw to start. He improved really quickly in USC and he looks like a hard worker, but it seems like a bit soon for him to start. From what I saw, he seems like he basically got through collage and high school with his amazing athleticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted October 20, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well, it would be nice to have a true slasher in that five, though, especially when you have shooters and a facilitating guard. DeRozan would benefit from it greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can use his athleticism to his advantage on the offensive end, and just focus on playing defense for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headliner Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think eventually Wright will beat out Derozan as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
