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.
Yeah, I respect Derozan's ability to score, but his defense and shooting are absolutely atrocious. Bad enough that I don't think his scoring and playmaking can overcome it. I feel the same way about Dinwiddie. I'm all the way out on players like that. There are ways to get playmaking without having to sacrifice that much shooting and defense.
