Sports Illustrated’s listing of the NBA’s Top 100 players places the Toronto Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan at #46. The magazine’s rankers have decided to name four Raptors (DeMarre Carroll, Jonas Valanciunas, DeRozan, Kyle Lowry) as among the league’s best players, and DeRozan is our second-best. Kyle is #14.
Let’s consider how DeRozan makes out at the pay window compared to his peers (according to SI, not necessarily to me).
One thing we can say for sure – DeMar isn’t being underpaid.
He is miffed about his ranking, although I’d be happier if he took SI’s criticism under advisement.
