    Default Doug Mcdermott's peak?

    He's too small to play the 4...to slow to play the 3.

    I think he's similar to Wally Sczerbiak.

    Larry Bird, with the benefits of modern training. So 35/14/10?

    If Larry Bird played today, as slow and nonathletic as he is, he'd be on somebody's bench.

    Wally's size was fine. So was his speed.

    If Kyle Korver can start in the NBA, so can Doug McDermott.


    That said, I think he'll end up being an effective bench scorer.

    Haha hell no he wouldn't. He'd be averaging Dirk Nowitzki numbers with more assists.

    I actually like McDermott's game. He can get his own shot which is something that's necessary for an outside shooter at the next level. With as much as teams have been looking for guys to stretch the floor I think he's going to have a solid career. I could see him being a 12-15 ppg kind of guy. Someone who is a solid 4th scoring option. If a guy like Ryan Kelly can start for the Lakers I see no problem with McDermott fitting in on a team. I think he's probably a little under rated right now since there's been mock drafts that have him outside the lottery.

    He's definitely not too slow to play the 3. Plus he's long and moves his feet well. He came back for his senior season to work on his defense, and he's light years better now then he was last year.

    His offense is so versatile. He does everything well.

    He'll put up 17-20 ppg, maybe 7 rebs.

    Solid 3rd option.

    Knows NOTHING about McDermott.


    Wally is a good comparison for him. Ceiling = Paul Pierce, realistic target = Wally, floor = Luke Babbitt.
