Chicago Bulls All-Star DeMar DeRozan has confirmed that he will be taking part in the Drew League as well. The California native posted a tweet, which sent fans into a frenzy.

Drew league tomorrow
👀

DeRozan could've been an LA Lakers player last season. He was on the team's radar and reportedly had conversations with James regarding a potential move. However, the Lakers opted to trade for Russell Westbrook instead.

The Lakers will no undoubtedly be regretting their decision to pass on DeRozan. The forward earned All-Star honors after helping the Bulls return to the playoffs last season. Meanwhile, James and the LA Lakers finished the campaign with a miserable 33-49 record, failing to make even the play-in tournament.
