But Jonas absolutely has to start seeing the ball more. He needs more touches and shots. Realistically the offense should be running through him soon. With both Lowry and DeRozan, I really don't see him getting the touches he needs to develop. 8 shots a game isn't good enough, he needs to be averaging 12-15 a game.
This...coming from a guy who wants the Raptors to tank this season. Trading Derozan is like going back from the start over and over again. Getting a high draft pick is not guaranteed to get a young player who can help the team next season or the season after. We all know what happened when Raptors drafted Andrea Bargnani 1st pick overall. Besides Derozan is just coming on his own and was one of the reason why Raptors even went to play Game 7 today.
