Kings' DeMar DeRozan joins top 20 on NBA's all-time scoring list

Showing his versatility, DeRozan also added seven assists and a rebound against the Rockets. He's averaging 18.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists through exactly 60 games on the year. 

And even though the Kings have regressed as a team, currently holding a 13-47 record after going 40-42 last season, DeRozan continues to demonstrate his longevity and ability to still be a productive player. 

DeRozan will likely achieve Hall of Fame status  

While DeRozan's name may not immediately jump out as a future Hall of Famer to most fans, he's put together a resume that may make him worthy of induction, especially since every other eligible player on the NBA's top 25 scoring list has already been enshrined and the others are still active and locks to join them as soon as possible. 

A Compton, California, native and USC product, DeRozan was drafted with the ninth overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors, where he spent the first nine years of his career. 

He's a six-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA Second Team, spanning a career that's also included stints with the San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls. As far as more for his basketball resume, DeRozan was named the 2009 Pac-10 Tournament MVP, and his number has already been retired by the Trojans.
