DeRozan performs well in Hornets win over Kings
As one of the longest-tenured players in the current NBA, DeMar DeRozan is a respected figure. He’s one of the best scorers the league has ever seen, but people often don’t talk about him that way. DeRozan didn’t win a championship, but he has proven himself over the years.
DeRozan is now 36 years old, but he is still an outstanding player for the Kings. He averaged 18.1 points per game, which is pretty impressive for a player his age. He turned the tables on Wednesday against the Hornets with a stellar performance.

As a longtime admirer of DeRozan, Bridges appreciated what he saw against him. It was a great night that will impress anyone, which is why Bridges was so effusive in his praise for the veteran.
“I learned a lot of moves from him, a lot of post moves, but I’ll continue to study his game. It’s always fun to play against him, not when he beats us like that, but it’s always good to learn from a great player,” Bridges said after the Hornets beat the Kings.
DeRozan will continue to be the model for wing players in the league. His mid-range game is sparse at the moment, but many players are learning moves from him. Bridges is one of them, but that will continue as people evolve and DeRozan’s game film will always be available.
