DeMar DeRozan had a big impact on the Chicago Bulls before being traded
Six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan was sent from the Chicago Bulls to the Sacramento Kings earlier this summer in a sign and trade deal. The trade ended DeRozan's three-year run in Chicago that produced just one playoff appearance.
In his three seasons with the Bulls, DeRozan averaged 25.5 points per game. An elite scorer, DeRozan projects to help Sacramento in that category, along with the leadership role he will take on as a 15-year NBA veteran. While the Bulls did not win as much as they hoped to in DeRozan's time there, the veteran had a strong impact on his teammates.. "He wasn’t always the loudest guy in the room or most talkative guy in the room. But if we had a meeting, he was early. If we had a bus time, he was one of the first ones there. He was never late to a meeting. He was always ready to go. When the game came, it was always about business.
Coby White's voice emerged last season. Poised to enter his sixth season for a Bulls team now without DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, the guard knows his leadership is even more important.This was an honest statement from White, who recognizes the impact DeMar had and the void that needs to be filled in his absence.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
