Not true . Derozan is cooling off and regressing to more of the level he was at last season . The Raptors struggle mightily whenever Lowry is on the bench , reason why Coach Casey makes him lead the league in minutes played per game . You just can ' t have Lowry on the bench because the game becomes an absolute trainwreck for the Raptors . He affects both ends of the floor and the stats don ' t reflect his impact on the defensive side of things . It ' s no big deal when Derozan sits because Terrence Ross is shooting very well for a reserve wing . You definitely don ' t miss Derozan ' s piss poor defense . By the time this season is done it will be the same story as last year when people called the Raptors Lowry ' s team .
