who struggled a little bit this year trying to reshape his game a little bit to accommodate the DeMar DeRozan addition. I thought not having Malik Monk has obviously hurt them, but at the same time, Malik Monk, who I think is really good, does not fit at all at the same time with DeMar DeRozan and in particular Zach Levine.
