On his matchup with Wembanyama last season, DeRozan said, “We played them this year, I swear I had a drive to the lane - I’m on one side of the key, he’s on the other side. I stopped for the layup and pulled it back out. He was on the other side of the key. I just knew he had the recovery length to be able to f—king block whatever I throw up. You just look him in the eyes and know he’s gonna be one of them ones, for sure.
