NASHVILLE, Tenn. – DeMar DeRozan is willing to open up the wallet.
Heck, he welcomes it.
“It means everything,’’ DeRozan said on Tuesday, when discussing the maturation of teammate Patrick Williams. “Him being a little more vocal, showing a little more bravado. I’m hoping he gets a tech (technical foul) this year. If he gets a tech this year, one I’ll pay it, and two you’ll all see how far he came.’’
That’s all everyone has been waiting for: Williams to make a jump worthy of a No.
