DeMar DeRozan has made headlines this offseason despite the NBA having ended more than a month ago. With fans starved of basketball, there has been a lot of attention being given to the ProAm leagues being played in various parts of the country, and big-name stars like DeRozan, LeBron James, and Trae Young have all participated.
The Drew League has drawn perhaps the most attention, considering that LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan won only narrowly, and Trae Young and John Collins lost in the game they played. And DeRozan seems to have enjoyed the experience so much that he returned for another game, this time alongside Bulls teammate Patrick Williams.
DeRozan scored 36 points to lead his team to a win, with many NBA fans reacting to highlights of his performance on social media.

DeRozan spoke recently about the struggles of his offseason last year, thanks to free agency. However, he has since clearly found his groove again, and this summer seems to be going a lot better than the last. With Zach LaVine back in Chicago, next season promises to be another opportunity for him to potentially show out in the playoffs.
