DeMar DeRozan is off to a great start in what looks to be a career year. While learning a new team and a new system, he’s somehow averaging career highs in just about every statistical category through the first 10 games of the season. How exceptional has his performance been? Well, I’m glad you asked.
Only 9 players have gotten to DeMar’s base averages (26p/6a/6r) for a whole season in NBA history. That kind of production in and of itself is a rarity, but one of DeMar’s most valuable attributes is his low turnover rate, at just 9.
