Right. 6 months from now is January. Will that be a realistic time to see meaningful playing time from a guy who hasn't played an NBA game or worked through a training camp with the team? Not likely
It just occurred to me that Triano was the head coach in Toronto when Derozan was picked and arrived there. They were together for his first couple seasons
I don't understand why it's hard to believe that someone could still be within their physical prime in their mid 30's. These guys are elite trained athletes with all the modern advantages to take care of themselves
More than a solid role player would be what? I don't think anyone is expecting whatever that is.
I think some of us think it's possible that he quickly becomes a guy who can compete like an All Defensive player, who can shoot
He's already one of the better defensive guards in the league and he can shoot. Some of his value to this team is not taking too many shots, which is even more so now with the addition of DeRozan
