Because that's been a highly debated conversation over the last couple of days.
Because DeRozan is obviously a great player, an all-time great who's gonna finish his career in the top 10 points scored in a single career, which is insane to think about.
Truly one of the most underrated talents of this era because he hasn't really won a bunch.
He's been on Raptors teams that came close but kept running into LeBron James, or was on pretty bad teams that really had no hope of winning.
But now he finds him on one again, and this is a real chance for DeRozan to have a great season.
But we did see one update that honestly makes too much sense for the Nuggets.
DeMar DeRozan will take on a bench role for the first time in his career this season, according to head coach David Adelman.
The Nuggets will figure out how DeRozan fits into the rotation, with different lineups tested throughout the pre-season.
But the main thing is, DeRozan is going to be this team's sixth man, which, it does create a few things.
Also, on top of that too, is that this is the exact type of move they should make because it optimizes DeRozan but also does help out Jamal Murray at not being the only ball handler, and gives them the most ball handling they've had since they won their last title.
And this year, them only having a 4% chance on Calci to win the NBA title, it's obviously super important that DeRozan does excel in this role.
And I think he will, going up against guys who are other backups, where DeRozan will be absolutely just able to cook them.
