I've seen him play plenty and that's why I made the comparison. It makes me wonder who you're watching because while I did agree with you before that his athleticism isn't as apparent in the game as Wallace's is, it's really not that far off. In their two NCAA tournament games most of his points were on mid-range jumpers, but in the Pac-10 tournament he scored a lot more points at the basket. Against Cal he had 17 points 11 rebounds and 3 blocks and he was 1 for 2 on 3 pointers. Against UCLA he had 21 points 13 rebounds and 2 steals and was 1 for 1 on three pointers. In those two games he had several highlight reel dunks and putback baskets and looked like Gerald Wallace reincarnate. Against Arizona State he only had 3 rebounds but he had 25 points shooting 10 for 16 including 1 for 3 on three pointers. In the two NCAA tournament games he had 18 points and 9 rebounds and then 18 and 5. So over the last 5 games of the year, all tournament games, he averaged 19.8 points and 8.2 rebounds. He's not as active on defense, and he certainly doesn't have the shotblocking instincts that Wallace does, but they look like similar players offensively because they have the same limitations. DeRozan doesn't have a handle and he's not much of an outside shooter so he has to rely on his athleticism to score. If all you think of when you think of Gerald Wallace is his ridiculous blocked shots, then certainly there's no comparison. I'm talking about the big picture. He looks like Gerald Wallace with less shot-blocking but a better jumpshot. And less out of control. Who would you compare him to?
