[Saba Sports News] DeMar DeRozan is drawing comparisons to LeBron James.
The six-time All-Star joined his new NBA team, the Sacramento Kings, over the weekend through a sign-and-trade deal. This move follows Sacramento’s lottery pick of ex-Big East Player of the Year Devin Carter at No. 13 in this year’s draft.
A remarkable fact about DeRozan and his new teammate Carter has gone viral: DeRozan previously played with Carter’s father, Anthony, on the 2011-12 Toronto Raptors. Now, DeRozan is set to play with Anthony’s son in Sacramento.
Devin acknowledged this coincidence by posting “Full circle” on X. DeRozan, who turns 35 next month, is joining his fourth NBA team as he enters his 16th season. This full-circle moment is underscored by the fact that DeRozan played with Anthony, now 49, in what was Anthony’s final NBA season. Now, DeRozan will team up with Devin, 22.
