   WOW!

   Well Robert, again your comments are very much welcomed and i encourage you to keep up our friendly banter..all i have to say is that while i do not share your optimism at this point, i wish DeRozan all the best in his first NBA season i would love for him to put up 15-5-5 if he could but again i am the type to temper my expectations. With your reference to Charlie V well it took some very interesting situations (managerial pressure, media attention) for any one to realize that he wasn't playing much. Any young player with a shread of talent and work ethic generally will improve with playing time... again Charlie V with the Bucks has improved greatly than the Raptors version. (ditto for Charlie Bell, Mo Williams just to throw some other random names out there). I believe that if young players got an opportunity they may flourish if they have the drive to cultivate their potential can you imagine what would happen if Brendan Wright of GS or even Jerryd Blayliss of POR would do with consistent playing time? Look at Monta Ellis...people knocked his talent.. i was high on him.. and well look at him now...Raptors would have killed with him at the 2..nevertheless the point im making is that the Raptors have been generous with the PT for rookies if they earn it and im not sure how DeRozan will handle that challenge ( i mean if J. Moon can stay on the floor jackin up 3's then really defense makes all the difference) I feel your passion for DeRozan in your words, and i suppose i am the Yin to your Yang ...you expect flashes of greatness i expect small spurts of passable consistency. As far as the Raptors go...DeRozan is no savior (at least not yet) and he like much of his draft brethern have some ways to go before superstardom beckons, if at all your article was well though-out and factual based...as was mine...but i do want to say that your point about playing the game consistently and non-emotionally is a great one...and it is something the great players do posess...Robert I give you the forum go ahead.

   I took the liberty of posting this on your BB in case you dont make it back to my article my comments are below thank you again for your comment and the time you took to read my article.

   Robert

   I am flattered that you have taken the time to comment on my article, and i apologize if i struck a nerve (and clearly i have) as much as you think that i have not watched DeRozan i have and i am NOT saying he's not a good player, and wont be in the future...im saying that i believe his contributions this year will be minimal sub 10 ppg sub 5 rpg sub 3 apg i think that if he did that i'd call the season a success but i do not believe that he will avg 13-16 ( i find it interesting that you do not find Calderon to be a good passer, not that i do it's just an observation) I think most reasonable young players (Juilian Wright for an example) with good athleticism are good finishers but as we already know to play in the NBA you have to have some other skills besides "finishing" moving on. I do not believe that DeRozan will open the year as a starter...but i think he may finish as one...if he keeps up his defence (as you have said) I dont need you to put your "cred" as you put it on the line...this is just another viewpoint...i respect your work and i do enjoy reading your articles but i respectfully disagree on your 'overly-rosy' outlook...i mean there are no guarentees as a rookie...and a lot of things have to fall in place for DeRozan to make the kind of impact your suggesting. Thank you again for taking the time to comment..truly as a fan of the game and a person who calls Toronto home i hope im wrong i just dont see it this year...maybe next year? Please feel free to continue this conversation at your lesiure you know how to get at me Robert...B|R!
