What is DeMar DeRozan’s contract with Bulls?

DeMar Darnell DeRozan is an American basketball player who plays for the Chicago Bulls as both shooting guard and small forward.

After a five-star rated high school career at Compton High School and one outstanding season at USC, DeRozan was selected ninth overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 2009 Draft.

Just in his second NBA season, DeRozan started all 82 games, and averaged an impressive 17.2 points per game on a remarkable 46.7% shooting. Recognizing DeRozan’s massive potential, the Raptors gave him the keys to the franchise. From that point onwards, he became the linchpin of the Toronto Raptors' offense, steering the team's scoring efforts for the next seven seasons.

In his initial years in the NBA, DeRozan was a true athletic beast. At Toronto, he was known for his ability to attack the rim with thunderous dunks and exhibit a soft touch around the basket. However, slowly and steadily his offensive game started to grow and his midrange jumper became the stuff of legend.

DeRozan uses his great footwork to get to his sweet spots. Once he rises for his signature shot, defenders find themselves at his mercy, and opposition fans can only hope he misses what has become the trademark "DeRozan Middey."

Now with the Chicago Bulls, DeRozan's skill, consistency, and leadership on the court will forever be remembered in the Raptors' basketball legacy.

As he continues to make significant contributions on the court, DeRozan's financial success mirrors the recognition and rewards that accompany his outstanding performance on the floor.
