DeRozan is a wing sized Trae Young on defense. One of the worst defenders in the league. Only had one regular season in his entire career with a positive on/off impact. Not a single playoff run with positive on/off numbers. Lowry on the other hand was leading the Raptors in +/- based metrics in most of those seasons.
