In the midst of his incredible campaign, Lonzo Ball reveals why he picks Bulls teammate DeMar DeRozan as the favorite to win the MVP award.
Early this summer DeMar DeRozan was grossly disregarded by executives and scouts across the league when they chose his signing as the worst off-season move. Not many analysts and enthusiasts were convinced that the DeMar acquisition would be a beneficial move for the Bulls franchise. Not only did people question his skills, but they also doubted how well he would be a match for Zach LaVine.
And at the beginning of the 2021-2022 season, Deebo proved its doubters otherwise and played at an incredibly sensational level. Aside from being one of the most elite players this year, the 4-time All-Star was the most clutch player in the league who recently also knocked down jaw-dropping game winners in a row.
