The regular season DeMar DeRozan delivered in 2021-2022 was one of the most exciting campaigns in recent NBA history. Though his Chicago Bulls did not advance beyond the first round of the playoffs, DeRozan’s individual accomplishments and accolades can not be neither ignored nor forgotten.
The long-time Raptor and short-term Spur joined Chicago in the summer of 2021, as part of a rag-tag effort to re-energize the stagnant Bulls. DeRozan’s steady leadership was just what the doctor order, and his Herculean offense helped the Bulls return to relevance. DeRozan called it a “perfect” season.
