PrintI'm not as married to these numbers as some of you are, but let it be known that Derrick leads the league in USG% and is 10th in PER. Of the guys ahead of him in PER, only four are in the top twenty in terms of USG%, those being Kobe(6th), Dirk(10th), Monta(9th) and Westbrook(20th). For what it's worth, Derrick is living up to his pre-season talk of being MVP; he's arrived in a big way.
This is just a little nugget for you guys that were worried about his FIBA play and his shitty pre-season. He's having a better season than any of his FIBA teammates, so what does that tell you about FIBA, Olympics, etc?
Side note: John Wall is in the top twenty in each as well. Those two should have the All-Star spots locked up for the next decade; fuck Rajon Rondo.
All of the numbers I used are from Basketball Reference.

I'm with you dakoose
When a player does 5-6 oh my god plays per game…….I don’t need PER to tell me he’s great.
Once Derrick masters the fundamentals a bit more, and continues to improve his 3 pt shot, he will be the best player in the league in 3-4 years. And the Bulls will win multiple championships.
Like, he's the perfect teammate.
Likes to distribute and get others involved (see: 10 assists per game), yet can score and take over when he needs/wants to (see: 26.8 points per game). If he improves his defense, rebounding, and 3 point shooting, he’ll be the most complete player in the league (and maybe ever).
eat. sleep. hoop. repeat. become legendary.
