“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.”

The Bulls will be playing the ailing San Antonion Spurs and Sacramento Kings as their next 2 matchups. DeRozan could comfortably continue his 30-point streak before the All-Star break.
