Is there a decent chance Deron will improve or at least stay at this level? yes. But there is also a decent chance that he could end up like a certain PG who had an even better season than Deron at age 23, but would prob get met by a lot of lols if he were drafted here.
Age 21: 10.8 points, 4.5 assists, 50% TS%, 0.8 steals
Age 22: 16.2 points, 9.3 assists, 53.5% TS%, 1.0 steals
Age 23: 18.8 points, 10.5 assists, 59.5% TS%, 1.1 steals
He is CLEARLY only getting better. I have no clue who you are talking about, but he probably either was injury prone or wasn't improving at nearly the rate Deron is. Deron has only missed 4 games in 3 years.
I think he should've gone at least 10 picks ago, and I wouldn't have minded him at all even higher than that.
