There are two pressing questions from the 2016 NBA playoffs that involve the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors.
Has anyone in the postseason played better than Paul George? And has anyone in the postseason played worse than DeMar DeRozan?
Let’s start with the second one first.
Through six games, DeMar DeRozan has made just 34-of-106 (32.1%) shot attempts, including a putrid 2-of-13 (15.4%) from behind the arc.
DeRozan has helped himself out a bit by making 25-of-30 (83.3%) free-throw attempts but even this is below expectations. He got to the line 8.4 times per game in the regular season, but is only making 5.
