DeMar DeRozan is back in Toronto this weekend with the Chicago Bulls. But his reunion vibe began earlier this week when he ran into former Raptors backcourt starting mate Jos Caldern, who he credits for plenty.
“Marc was telling me he is still getting back to the gym three or four times a week to get shots,” Calderón said. “It wasn’t just his work ethic in Toronto. He was always willing to listen. We made a good friendship there. He was always asking questions. You could see that pay off in the sense that every day he was getting better. And it sounds like he’s still trying to evolve and improve.
In that way, it sounds like DeRozan is imitating Calderón, who he played with for three-and-a-half seasons before the Raptors dealt the Spaniard to the Detroit Pistons in a three-team deal that netted them Rudy Gay. Not that Calderón also eschewed the 3-point shot for midrange jumpers, but more so in terms of being comfortable in his own skin and playing his game.
“He also gave me the ultimate confidence to be the scorer. The way he passed the ball, he’d always throw lobs to me. He made the game extremely easy for me.” “He worked hard every day, every practice. He’d come back to the gym to get better. He wanted to win. You can’t ask for more,” Calderón said. “He may not always be thought of as one of the big names because of the way he is on the court. He’s always under control. He’s always low-key. But he’s the kind of guy you want on your team for sure.”DeRozan played for USA Basketball as it won gold medals at both the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
