Where do you think the gap between DeRozan and Leonard is?

DeRozan and Leonard both played for the Raptors and are the team's rightful leaders. DeRozan was selected by the Raptors to land in the NBA through the draft in 2009, played for the Raptors for 9 years, and was selected as an All-Star several times in terms of personal honors in these 9 years. The inability to go far in the playoffs led to an 18-year ban from Raptors management in exchange for a trade for Leonard.

The season Leonard came to help the Raptors win the NBA championship. To specifically elaborate on the difference in strength between the two, it is nothing more than to analyze it from the offensive end and the defensive end. <>

On the offensive end, DeRozan is nicknamed the "little prince of mid-range shooting", which also reflects his technical shortcomings of not being able to shoot three-pointers, and his poor three-point shooting has caused the opponent to give up the outside defense and concentrate on defending the inside, thus restricting the offense of his teammates. Not being able to open up space for teammates and create better attacking opportunities. And although Leonard is also good at shooting, his three-point shooting percentage is also quite impressive, and no defender dares to let him get an open shot from the outside.

In terms of other offensive skills, the two are extremely similar, but DeRozan is inferior to him physically. Being a few centimeters short and slightly thin makes it often impossible to play effectively in the face of high-intensity defenses. Renard, on the other hand, was able to ignore the defense and deliver a lethal blow to his opponent at crucial moments.

The gap between the two on the defensive end is even more obvious. DeRozan is two meters tall, but his arm span is only 2.06 meters. On the other hand, Leonard, with a height of 2.01 meters and an arm span of 2.20 meters, has a pair of big hands like iron tongs, which makes him like a tiger on the defensive end.

DeRozan has yet to receive any accolades, while Leonard has been named to the All-Defensive Team several times, as well as the All-Defensive Player twice.

Therefore, the difference in strength between the two is still obvious, mainly in the three-point shooting ability on the offensive end and the stability in the face of different levels of defense. The defensive gap is even more like a chasm, which is difficult to bridge.

DeRozan is a defender whose main contribution is his individual scoring, while Leonard is a well-rounded player who can effectively integrate the whole team in addition to his own scoring and is more of a leader than DeRozan.

There is no comparison between the two, one is a star, the other is a superstar, one is soft when he plays hard, and the other is strong when he is strong, the best comparison is with James, the Raptors' ranking in the East and the Spurs' ranking in the West are similar every year, both in the top few, but if you look at their respective records, DeRozan and James are more losses and fewer wins, and James and Xiaoka are more losses and fewer wins, this is the best explanation.

The gap is all-encompassing. Physical fitness, mental attributes, offensive and defensive skills, are not at the same level. Leonard is a supergiant, and DeRozan is an All-Star at best. The results of the two after switching teams speak for themselves.

The biggest thing should be physical talent. The difference in talent between these two is visible to the naked eye. After all, both of them belong to the type that is not shocked, with different styles and many similarities in their playing styles, and talent has become the biggest factor limiting them.

DeRozan is not without three points, but he doesn't shoot much, he shot well in the last 2 seasons of the Raptors, but after going to the Spurs, he shot less, Leonard's long arms are longer than the average person in the league, which is indeed Fabi, and Azan, who was originally a point guard, went to the Spurs to play small forward, and lost a lot in physical confrontation than before, DeRozan is also very good, support Azan! They are all strong
