There have been a lot of surprising teams in this young NBA season. Some for bad reasons, like the bottom-dwelling Pelicans, and some for good ones, like the East-leading Wizards.
Among the latter group are DeMar DeRozan’s Bulls. The former Spur has been fantastic in Chicago, even garnering some early MVP buzz. Unless something unexpected happens, he will at least surely be an All-Star after not getting the nod for the three years he was in San Antonio.
DeRozan’s success probably stings a little for some Spurs fans, and might be even causing others to reevaluate whether moving on from him was a good idea after all.
