“There’s always room for some type of improvement”: DeMar DeRozan
Over the past 6 games, the All-Star starter has been putting up a staggering 37.2/6/5.5. However, despite his impeccable form, the former USC Trojan humbly spoke about always improving some or the other aspect of his game. After the OKC-Bulls clash, the 32-year-old said:
“Just because I have a good game, I always look at all the negative things that happened, things I could’ve did better. There hasn’t been a game where I walked away from it saying, ‘I did everything perfect.’ There’s always room for some type of improvement.”
