DeMar DeRozan made a statement on opening night — he isn’t going anywhere.
WASHINGTON — to quiet the first wave of questions facing the Bulls and DeRozan this season.DeRozan is used to the chatter. It seems to swarm ahead of every season — this is the year DeRozan will run out of gas, out of options, out of buzzer-beating shots and fourth-quarter heroics.“It’s BS,” he said after the game.
“I have no clue where people get that from,” DeRozan said. “All seriousness, I don’t even know what you base it off, where you get it from. Can’t nobody ever speak for me. I know what I put into this game in the offseason, how much I love this game. I can assure you that not many guys in this league work as hard as I do.”
That consistency is built in the summer, when DeRozan follows a “hell” schedule of workouts crafted years ago with Kobe Bryant. After watching what DeRozan puts himself through in the offseason, Donovan said there was no questionDeRozan would be well-prepared. It is a common pattern for DeRozan, but he isn’t a slow starter. DeRozan said he prefers to feel out a game, spending the first half focused on how to best fuel his teammates before allowing himself to throttle up to full speed.
