2024 Fantasy Outlook
After three seasons with the Bulls in which he earned two All-Star nods, DeRozan was sent to the Kings in a sign-and-trade over the summer. The 35-year-old has been a steady source of early-to-mid-round fantasy value for a decade, boosted by his relatively strong track record of health. Last season was no exception, as DeRozan played 79 games and averaged 24.0 points, 5.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 37.8 minutes. He's also maintained or increased his three-point volume across four straight seasons, taking 2.8 triples last year and making them at 33.3 percent. That's a part of his game that may need to take another step forward playing in Sacramento. Domantas Sabonis is not the floor spacer that Nikola Vucevic is, and DeRozan will probably handle the ball less while ceding touches to De'Aaron Fox. The dynamic between the team's three stars isn't easy to predict. Will DeRozan be the clear No. 3 option? Will he take touches and assists away from Sabonis, who has been a triple-double machine? Is Fox going to be asked to do a little bit less? Either way, it wouldn't be surprising to see DeRozan hit recent lows in points and assists on a better team with an established duo. There's more risk in drafting DeRozan this year given that dynamic and his age, but he should still be a solid option in the middle of most fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

DeMar Darnell DeRozan was born in Compton, California, to Frank and Diane DeRozan. He attended Compton High School, where he played on the varsity basketball team for four years. DeRozan averaged 26.1 points and 8.4 rebounds as a freshman. He continued to thrive over the next three seasons, finishing his senior year with per-game averages of 29.2 points and 7.9 rebounds while leading Compton to its second consecutive league title. DeRozan received a number of accolades for his outstanding play as a senior. He was named the Moore League Most Valuable Player Award and selected to the California All-State team. DeRozan was a member of the 2008 McDonald's All-American Team and won the 2008 McDonald's All-American Slam Dunk Competition. He also played in the Nike Hoop Summit and the 2008 Jordan Brand Classic at Madison Square Garden. In addition, he earned first-team Parade All-American honors and First Team Best in the West honors. Since joining the NBA, DeRozan has become involved in a number of charitable causes. In 2010 he started DeMar's Slam Dunk Book Club, aimed at promoting literacy in schools. He later became an ambassador for Lupus Canada, raising awareness and helping those affected by lupus. The cause is particularly close to DeRozan's heart as his mother has lived with the disease for many years. In addition, DeRozan is an advocate for those suffering from depression. He and fellow NBA star Kevin Love created a PSA video to raise awareness of the issue and provide information about various mental health resources. Learn more about DeRozan by following him on Twitter (@DeMar_DeRozan) and on Instagram (@demar_derozan). DeRozan was named the 2009 Pac-10 Tournament MVP. He led USC to the Pac-10 Tournament title as the Trojans defeated Arizona State. The Compton, California native helped lead USC to the 2009 NCAA Tournament second round before losing to Michigan State -- the Spartans would end up playing in the NCAA title game that same season. DeRozan, who scored 10 or more points in each of his final nine games of the season, led USC in field goals (5.5) per game while also checking in second in both rebounds (5.7) and points (13.9) per game. DeRozan announced that he would enter the 2009 NBA Draft after his freshman year and was selected ninth overall in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors.

Game-high 33 not enough Wednesday
FSacramento Kings
April 17, 2025
DeRozan notched a game-high 33 points (13-28 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
He did everything he could to keep the Kings' playoff hopes alive, but Zach LaVine was the only one of his teammates to score more than 11 points. DeRozan wraps up another productive regular season, averaging 22.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 three-pointers and 0.8 steals over 77 appearances. While Sacramento will likely consider major changes to its roster this summer, the 35-year-old forward may not be going anywhere with two years and $50.5 million left on his contract.

DeRozan is coming off his second year with the Bulls, where he shot 50.4 percent from the field for the second consecutive season. The mid-range assassin has improved his efficiency over the last few years, shooting over 49 percent from the field through four successive seasons. Despite being part of an ever-changing roster due to injuries during the 2022-23 season, DeRozan put together another impressive campaign with solid numbers across the stat sheet, topped off by his patented ability to earn trips to the foul line, averaging 7.1 free-throw attempts per game. On the other hand, his three-point shooting took a step back from a career-best average of 35.2 percent in the 2021-22 season, while he also remained under 2.0 attempts per game. Looking ahead, DeRozan should be able to continue using his top-tier footwork and go-to mid-range game to rack up consistent scoring in the low-to-mid 20s per outing. He has also shown improvement in ball handling and passing, averaging more than 5.0 assists per game in five of the last six seasons. DeRozan can only be expected to enter the 2023-24 season with the usual chip on his shoulder, looking to make an early impact and get his team on the right track. He has the benefit of returning for a third season with the familiar core of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, who will help share the load offensively and provide enough gravity to leave him room to operate.
When the Bulls turned things over to new management, they wasted no time trying to remake the roster. The first significant move they made was acquiring center Nikola Vucevic from the Magic during the 2020-21 season. While he couldn't get them into the playoffs, he immediately added legitimacy to the team, forming a formidable one-two punch with Zach LaVine. The Bulls weren't done yet and made two big splashes heading into the 2021-22 season. One was acquiring point guard Lonzo Ball in a sign-and-trade with the Pelicans. The other was bringing over DeRozan from the Spurs in another sign and trade. He would have arguably the best season of his career, which is not something you normally see from a player who had been in the league for more than a decade. With averages of 27.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists while shooting 50.4 percent from the field, DeRozan was one of the biggest pleasant surprises in fantasy. However, it should be noted that Ball played in only 35 games because of a knee injury, and LaVine also battled a knee injury that limited him at times. Expecting DeRozan to duplicate his scoring average and 31.8 percent usage rate with a healthy Ball and LaVine in tow might be unwise. Still, he's going to have a leading role for the Bulls, making him a worthy early-round selection.
DeRozan is coming off another strong fantasy season with the Spurs. He's been one of the most consistent fantasy options across the past half-decade. Since 2013-14, he's ranked between 39th and 72nd in per-game production. Last season, he ranked 51st behind 21.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and career-high marks in assists (6.9) and free-throw percentage (88.0%). Over the summer, DeRozan headlined a sign-and-trade that shipped him north to Chicago, where he teams up with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. With the Bulls, he'll continue to start and see 30-plus minutes per game. However, given the other offensive options around him -- including Lonzo Ball, who also came over via a separate sign-and-trade -- DeRozan won't need to carry as much of a burden as he did in San Antonio. That could be a positive development for his efficiency, but it wouldn't be surprising if DeRozan's box score stats take a meaningful dip. There's still reason to consider drafting DeRozan around the fourth or fifth round given his high floor and general consistency, but his ceiling is much lower than in recent years.
While it largely fell under the radar, DeRozan had arguably his best season as a pro in 2019-20. He averaged 22.1 points on an impressive 53.1 percent shooting from the field and 84.5 percent from the charity stripe -- threes continuing to be a non-factor for him. He also added 5.6 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.1 minutes. It seems more and more like the Spurs will be transitioning into a rebuild, so we shouldn't be surprised if DeRozan ends up traded at some point during the 2020-21 season, especially since he has just one year left on his deal. On one hand, DeRozan's strong 2019-20 campaign implies he could be drafted as high as the late second round in fantasy, but there should be some concern if he is truly on the trading block, since there's a fair chance he'd go to a team that wouldn't be featuring him as a co-No. 1 option like the Spurs do with him and LaMarcus Aldridge. If that's the case, he'd have a hard time reaching his heights from last season, not to mention the possibility of some normal regression given his outlier field goal percentage.
DeRozan is coming off his first season with the Spurs, where he failed to make the All-Star team for the first time since 2014-15, though that was largely due to playing in a more loaded Western Conference. While he saw his scoring take a dip to 21.2 points per game, he set career highs in assists (6.2) and rebounds (6.0). He also continued to have big-game upside, dropping at least 30 points 13 times, grabbing double-digit boards on eight occasions, and handing out at least 10 assists in five appearances. Playing for coach Gregg Popovich resulted in DeRozan abandoning his emerging three-point shot, which likely frustrated fantasy owners. In 2017-18, he went 89-for-287 (31.0 percent) from distance, but that dropped to 7-for-45 (15.6 percent) in 2018-19. That will likely continue this season. While DeRozan isn't the most exciting pick, he has All-Star upside, a relatively clean bill of health, and is consistent.
Fresh off his most impressive Fantasy season to date, DeRozan was hoping to build on the career-best 27.3 points per game he averaged in 2016-17. That number ended up falling to 23.0, however, as DeRozan hoisted three less shot attempts (17.7) per game than he had a year prior (20.9), and also became more of a facilitator with a career-high 5.2 assists. He still kept his efficiency up and shot 45.6 percent from the field, and also hit 82.5 percent of his free-throw attempts, while getting to the line 7.0 times per game. Long known as a mid-range shooter that could score at the rim and get to the line, those numbers all fit DeRozan's typical style. As a result, it was DeRozan's concerted effort to extend his range that was somewhat surprising, considering the 28-year-old made 1.1 three-pointers per game, another career high. DeRozan ended up shooting 31.0 percent from deep and while that certainly isn't outstanding when considering others at his position, it was a step up from the brutal 26.6 percent clip he put up in 2016-17. With the Raptors being swept in the first round of the playoffs, management opted to explore the trade market this offseason, eventually coming to terms on a monster deal with San Antonio. Fellow superstar Kawhi Leonard was shipped to Toronto, while DeRozan was the significant piece that was brought over to San Antonio to make the deal work. The move certainly doesn't improve DeRozan's chances of going further in the playoffs, but it should keep his Fantasy value close to where it was in Toronto. LaMarcus Aldridge is really the only established offensive piece, so DeRozan's usage should at least sustain with the move. It may take time to get used to coach Gregg Popovich's system and the Spurs do tend to rest veterans at various points in the season, all of which are things to consider when drafting DeRozan. That said, the four-time NBA All-Star is still a top-tier shooting guard and his elite scoring ability, as well as his solid contributions in the peripheral categories, should keep him in the discussion for a selection in the first few rounds of most Fantasy drafts.
After being rewarded with a five-year, $139 million contract prior to the 2016-17 season, DeRozan didn't disappoint, averaging 27.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals across 35.4 minutes. The scoring and rebounding numbers were career highs and he was also able to shoot 46.7 percent from the field, which was his best number since the 2010-11 season. DeRozan did, however, fail to show any improvement with his three-point shooting, which is one of the biggest flaws of his game. He made just 26.6 percent of his attempts from deep, which was a significant drop from the 33.8 percent clip he had posted previously. While the three-point issues don't appear to be going away any time soon, that didn't stop DeRozan from notching his third NBA All-Star appearance, while also adding an All-NBA Third Team award to his resume. At just 27 years old, DeRozan could still be on the rise and the fact that the Raptors are bringing back nearly the exact same roster should keep the regular rotation intact from a season ago. DeRozan is expected to operate as the team's go-to option offensively and his impressive ability to both score in bunches and get to the free-throw line (8.7 attempts per game during 2016-17 campaign) should secure his spot as one of the top shooting guards in the league. While DeRozan's value would certainly increase with an improved deep ball, the added consistency to his jump shot, as well as the overall uptick in production across the box score should provide encouragement for yet another outstanding Fantasy season.
The Raptors’ backcourt duo of DeRozan and Kyle Lowry finally seemed to get the respect they deserved in 2015-16, with both players earning All-Star nods and representing the United States in the 2016 Summer Olympics. After three straight seasons with averages of 20-plus points per game, including a career-high 23.5 a year ago, the 27-year-old DeRozan was rewarded with a five-year, $139 million contract in July to remain with Toronto. The contract validates his standing as one of the top fantasy shooting guards, a position that’s relatively lacking in high-end options league wide. While DeRozan is occasionally prone to some questionable shot selection, he’s a gifted dunker who gets to line with ease. More importantly, he converts those opportunities at a high clip, hitting a career-high 85 percent of his 8.4 free-throw chances per game last season. That’s not the only area where DeRozan showed growth, though. He also hit 33.8 percent of his three-point attempts, which is still a below-average mark, but encouraging to see given his 28.3 percent career rate. DeRozan’s scoring and the stability he brings to a team’s free-throw percentage will continue to guide his fantasy value, but don’t overlook the assistance he provides in some of the other peripheral categories. He also averaged 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steal per game last season, figures that will help fantasy owners chip away at deficits throughout the year.
A serious groin injury restricted DeRozan to a career-low 60 games, but when he was on the court, he proved his 2013-14 breakout season was no fluke, averaging 20.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 0.4 three-pointers while shooting 41 percent from the floor and 83 percent from the free-throw line. The boards and steals were both career highs, but the field goal percentage was a career low as he continued to settle for too many low-efficiency mid-range jumpers despite his skill at drawing contact and fouls. DeRozan has developed into one of the league's better volume scorers, but there are questions among the Raptors' fan base and possibly the front office as to whether the team can make a deep postseason run with him as a focal point of the offense. His current contract expires after this season, and although he holds a $9.5 million player option for 2016-17, he's unlikely to exercise it given the massive rise in salaries that will accompany the new TV deal. Whether DeRozan responds to his potential free-agent status by chucking up more bricks or looking to improve the team's efficiency with an extra pass will probably go a long way towards determining whether he'll be back in Toronto next year.
2013-14 was a coming out party for DeRozan, who emerged as a leader and impact player for the surprisingly postseason-bound Raptors. Over 79 games played, the fifth-year shooting guard averaged career highs in points (22.7), rebounds (4.3), assists (4.0), steals (1.1), three-pointers (0.8), minutes (38), and makes from the free-throw line (shooting 82 percent on an impressive 8.0 attempts per game, good for seventh in the NBA). He shot 43 percent from the floor and 31 percent from beyond the arc. DeRozan's ferocious work ethic and intensity at both ends of the court have become not just the defining characteristics of his own game but of the whole Toronto organization, and at 25 years old, it's entirely possible that he still has some growth left in his numbers, particularly as he continues to improve his long-distance shooting. He was rewarded for his efforts with his first All-Star appearance last season and earned a spot on Team USA's World Cup squad. As Toronto's roster matures around him, a deeper playoff run and more personal accolades seem within his grasp. Don't write DeRozan, or the Raptors, off as flukes.
With Andrea Bargnani shuttling in and out of the lineup last season with an elbow injury, DeRozan became the Raptors' de facto No. 1 option in the first half, averaging 17.4 points per game on 44 percent shooting. That sort of production didn't deviate much from what we've seen from DeRozan in the past, but after the arrival of Rudy Gay via trade on February 1, DeRozan seemed to make tangible improvements in his game. With opposing defenses often deploying their most talented perimeter defenders on Gay, DeRozan actually raised his scoring output to 19.0 points per game on 45 percent shooting after January, despite no longer being the Raptors' No. 1 offensive option. Always an excellent finisher, perhaps the most encouraging development was DeRozan's improved accuracy from three-point range. Though he finished the season with an ugly 28 percent mark from three-point range – still a career-best – DeRozan seemed to find his stroke down the stretch, knocking down 9-of-18 threes in April and shooting 54 percent from the field overall. DeRozan has spent all offseason working to develop further accuracy from three, and while he remains unlikely to ever become a prolific marksman from deep, any sort of improvement would help diversify his game. Considering DeRozan offers only modest production in the other counting stats categories, an uptick his three-point field goals may be his easiest path to climbing upward in the fantasy ranks among shooting guards.
DeRozan's development plateaued last season, although his late-season struggles can be tied directly to the extra defensive attention he received in the wake of Bargnani's injury. At this point in his career he's an inefficient volume scorer and highlight-reel dunker, nothing more, and as the Raptors continue to upgrade the talent level around him it would be easy to see him get left behind. Unless he starts to add some secondary skills to his arsenal, this could be his last season in a Raptors uniform.
With teammate Andrea Bargnani failing to reach the heights for which the Raptors had hoped, their focus has since turned to building a team around DeRozan’s budding talents. In 26 games after the All-Star break last season, DeRozan averaged 19.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.1 three-pointers, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.9 turnovers in 35 minutes, so he still has a way to go. His new coach, Dwayne Casey, isn’t afraid to play his star players upwards of 40 minutes per game, so beyond DeRozan’s expected development, there should be more opportunities for him to fill up the box score. DeRozan’s persistence in taking the ball hard to the hoop will keep him going to the line and make him a consistent scorer. While he tried to extend his shooting beyond the three-point arc last season, he was unsuccessful in limited attempts. DeRozan’s ability to score nearly 20 points per game makes him a Corey Maggette-esque fantasy option, but if he shows he’s developed a three-point shot in training camp, be sure to bump him even higher on your draft boards.
In his rookie season, DeRozan wasn't any sort of rosterable player, really only coming to close to relevance-even on a per-minute basis-with his shooting percentage of 49.8%. That's a good number, but not enough to merit one of your draft picks this season. Still, keep him on your radar: DeRozan only just turned 21 before the season and figures to see decent minutes at the three with Hedo Turkoglu's departure this offseason.
The Raptors drafted DeRozan to fill their glaring needs for athleticism and offense off the wing, but he isn't likely to be ready for a regular spot after spending just one year in college. With Chris Bosh, Hedo Turkoglu and Andrea Bargnani being the focal points of the offense the Raptors will want DeRozan, or whoever gets the minutes at the two, to focus more on defense than on filling up the basket so even if the rookie wins the starting job his fantasy value will be limited.

Option for Miami?

DeRozan could be a "fallback trade target" for the Heat, according to Mark Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
ANALYSIS
If the Heat are unsuccessful in their attempt to acquire Kevin Durant from the Suns, DeRozan would be a logical option for the Heat as a low-risk move -- DeRozan is owed $24.57 million in 2025-26, and only $10 million of his $25.74 million salary in 2026-27 is guaranteed. DeRozan, who will turn 36 in August, was productive in 77 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season with 22.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 three-pointers and 0.8 steals.
