Heading into the 2025-26 season, DeMar DeRozan was in 25th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. While the Sacramento Kings have not had much team success, with a disappointing 21-58 record through 79 games, the 36-year-old veteran has climbed his way up the all-time ranks<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In Sunday’s loss to the L.A. Clippers, DeRozan finished with just nine points through ten minutes of action, but it was enough to leapfrog Oscar Robertson for 16th place on the all-time scoring leaderboard. Now, with a 235-point gap between him and the 15th-place Hakeem Olajuwon, DeRozan is done moving up the all-time scoring ladder this season. <\/p>\n

Jumping from 25th to 16th place in one season is pretty incredible for DeRozan, as he continues to be a high-level offensive engine in his 17th year in the NBA. After starting the season with 25,292 points and now posting 26,702, here is a look at every player DeRozan jumped on the all-time scoring list this season:<\/p>\n

DeRozan has already cemented himself as one of the best scorers of this generation, but he is making a case as one of the greatest offensive talents in league history.<\/p>\n

Even in year 17, DeRozan is averaging 18.4 points and 4.1 assists per game, while shooting 49.7% from the field. DeRozan has now averaged 18 or more points per game in 14 consecutive seasons, showcasing his longevity and consistency at this level.<\/p>\n

Making a Hall of Fame case<\/p>\n

If you did not notice, every player that DeRozan has passed on the NBA all-time scoring list this season is either a Hall of Famer or Steph Curry. In fact, every player in the top 45 of the all-time scoring list is either active or in the Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n

After six All-Star appearances and moving into the top 16 of the all-time scoring list, there is not much more DeRozan can do on an individual level to secure his spot in the Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Sure, DeRozan will likely finish his career without a championship, MVP, or All-NBA First Team, but he has had an impressive career. While his tenure in Sacramento<\/a> has not amounted to much, it is worth remembering that DeRozan is the Toronto Raptors’ all-time leading scorer, and being the greatest player in a franchise’s history<\/a> certainly helps a Hall of Fame case.<\/p>\n

By climbing up the all-time scoring list, which he could even move into the top-15 of next season, DeRozan is cementing himself as an all-time offensive talent.<\/p>\n
