The new looking Chicago Bulls are making a serious case for themselves.They made their best start to a season since Michael Jordan and the 1996 Bulls. After a bust off season, they acquired some great names to their roster. Notably, Lonzo Ball, ALe Caruso and DeMar DeRozan. All of them have made their impacts with the Bulls fitting right in. However, DeRozan is putting on a true scoring display as he plays for his new team.
DeRozan was averaging his normal numbers when with the San Antonio Spurs. However, with age catching up, DeRozan became desperate to win a title. With all the rumors surfacing around, he finally made a decision to join up with Zach Lavine and the Chicago Bulls. And it is safe to say that he made the right decision. Currently, DeRozan is going off on a tear leading the Bulls in the scoring department.

DeRozan is having the best scoring year of his career in a long time. Averaging over 25 points per game, he is going off for Chicago. In addition, DeRozan has picked up his three point shooting to a whole new level shooting 41% as compared to his previous best of 33%. He looks to have found a new wave, and he proved that with his splendid game against the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics are no easy team to go through. With the duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, they are an elite offensive team. However, DeMar and the Bulls got through. In the 128-114 win, DeRozan put up 37 points while shooting 75% from the field. Moreover, he got it done on the defensive end with a steal and block to his name. Putting the team on his back, it is no surprise fans have so much praise for the Bulls star.
