Calling DeRozan a non-shooting guard is not accurate. He doesn't shoot 3's but he shoots efficiently as a mid-range guy, gets to the line a ton and still drops a lot of assists as well. DeRozan is a great offensive player that would take up gravity, especially when he has the ball and give Luka some more off-ball opportunities. Does J Rich shooting 31.8% really give you much spacing without the ball? With the ball he isn't bothering the defense much at all versus DR who causes the defense to collapse on him, similar to Luka.
Again I don't think it's a perfect fit but DR still plays at a very high level so I'd be willing to give it a chance. I certainly like him better than THJ. It's my opinion that availability-wise DR is one of the more available talented vets that are out there.
