Ok, with all of the people complaining about Derrick, let's take a look at Derrick vs Junior in their Junior years.
First off, remember that in Junior's jr year, he had already had a full season as the starter, and he was playing alongside Jae Crowder, Darius Johnson-Odom and Vander Blue. In his first year as a starter he had Dwight Buycks and Jimmy Butler - great players to work with in your 1st & 2nd year as a starter.
Ok, so at this point in their junior years......

Not that far off, and Derrick doesn't have a Jae Crowder or DJO etc. playing alongside of him.
