Over the last 11 games, the San Antonio Spurs have seen what may be the best stretch of scoring machine DeMar DeRozan’s 11-year professional career. In this span, DeRozan has become the first player since Michael Jordan to shoot 52% or better on an average of 16 or more field goal attempts per contest.
Putting himself in the same category as His Airness himself warrants some questioning of DeRozan’s longterm commitment to San Antonio. It was reported in the offseason that the Spurs and DeRozan were far from reaching terms on a contract extension, and rightfully so.
