Demar Derozan signing with the Kings: How will he perform?

Demar Derozan recently signed with the Sacramento Kings and this is a massive deal for both the Kings and Derozan. In this article, we will be going over just how good this deal is for the both of them, and how it will affect fantasy basketball.

Last season with the Bulls, Derozan averaged 24-4-5 while shooting 48% from the field and 33% from the three point line. He played three very productive seasons with the Bulls, with two All-Star appearances and a top-ten in MVP voting. Now with the Kings, he is going to be a huge impact on a contending team, and he is going to get the opportunity to play alongside fellow stars Domantis Sabonis and De'aaron Fox. This could be his last chance at a title, as he is already entering his age 35 season.

The same reason that this trade is great for Derozan is terrible for him in fantasy basketball. Because he will be playing with fellow stars De'aaron Fox and Domantis Sabonis, he will be forced to share the load and he can't just carry the team like he did on the Bulls. We predict for Derozan's fantasy basketball impact to fall off by a ton, with many factors like age, new team, chemistry and being forced to share the rock. So in conclusion, the Derozan trade is great for the Kings and Demar, but it will not be looking great for your fantasy team.
