Demar and Rudy need to learn to share

Derozan and Gay need to go back to kindergarten so they can learn how to share. Derozan and Gay are attempting an absurd amount of field goals. This would be fine if either of them where shooting the ball well, but they are both struggling to put the basketball in the basket. They have attempted 44% of Toronto's field goals and are shooting a combined 35% from the field. When they touch the ball the play stops and they try to isolate and score themselves. Neither of them have been effective in sharing the ball. Their inability to share the ball is leading to less Raptor wins and hindering the development of budding start Jonas Valanciunas. In order for the team to improve these two players need to learn to share the ball and work Valanciunas into the rotation more. If they are unable to do so the development of Jonas will be stunt and they will win less games.

I think that Derozan is doing a decent job in distributing the ball. Derozan has showed great promise throughout the season he just sometimes struggles to put the ball in the basket. Whenever Derozan shot isn't dropping he doesn't try and shoot out of it he attacks the basket and tries his best to draw fouls. I think it is Gay who is failing to distribute the basketball. Gay is shooting career low's from the field and rarely is passing the ball. Tuesdays double overtime thriller is a prime example of how Gay fails to pass the ball. Gay was in fact the first player since 2005 to shoot at least 37 field goals and fail to score over 30 points. Despite Gay's shots struggling to fall all night he continued to shoot and took in fact 12 shots in the overtime periods only making two. In order for the raptors to improve Rudy needs to stop shooting as much and improve his shot selection. I do not blame them however for the hinder in Jonas' development. I think that Casey is to blame their head coach. I don't think he is letting Valanciunas see enough playing time. He often has him sit out the fourth quarter and sit out for long stretches which makes him rusty when he steps back on the court. I believe that for the Raptors future they should fire Casey and trade Gay if he continues to play like this.
