Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan isn't new to being on a team that's clouded with doubt coming into a new season. And, he's 100% here for it.
DeRozan was one of the biggest signings of the Bulls franchise this off-season which also included a lot of key names like Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso to go alongside All-Stars Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. Although some experts are already picking the Bulls to be the dark horse in the East ahead of the upcoming season, not everyone believes the new-look Bulls have it in them.
“I’ve been on teams where we were picked to be in the tank, and then we win 50 games and make it to the third seed in the Eastern Conference,” DeRozan said (via Chicago Sun Times). “I’ve heard it all. You can’t indulge in it. You can’t let history depict what your future is going to be like. You just have to go out there and set the tone and take on the challenge. With this group of guys and the talent we have, everybody is willing to take on whatever that next challenge is.”
The 32-year-old swingman has been one of the most underrated scorers in the league over the past few seasons. From leading the Toronto Raptors franchise to being a key figure in the San Antonio Spurs, DeRozan has been through it all and feels that he's more than ready to lead this talented group of guys to an incredible run this season.
