Tag: Doug McDermott

Doug McDermott scored sixteen points against the Bulls. He used to play for the Bulls. You know what that means! REVENGE GAME!!! This REVENGE GAME had extra-large amounts of REVENGE because the trade that the Bulls made to send McDermott to the Thunder didn’t make sense then and it really doesn’t make sense now. In…

Someone get Doug McDermott a featured role on a team, quickly. Time is running out, he’s already 27, almost 28 (how is that possible???), his prime years are passing by before our eyes without him being a number one (or even number two) option on a team. It doesn’t need to be a good team,…

If the Pacers had any sense, they would play Doug McDermott thirty minutes per game and make him the number one option. Not only because he might thrive as a number one option (he’s never been that in the NBA, but in college it worked out well for him), but because he’s a very “Indiana”…

For every team he’s played for, I can clearly picture in my mind Doug McDermott wearing the jersey for that team. Except for the Knicks. I was looking at basketball-reference and was shocked. Did he really play for them? Was I not paying attention? Did I block it all out of my mind? I must…

The ship has sailed on all the hype Doug McDermott had coming out of Creighton. It wasn’t an apocalyptic level of hype like, say, Jimmer Fredette, but it was pretty intense at times. It’s easy to forget with the passing of the years (this is McDermott’s sixth season already) how excited people were for this…

There has to be a team out there who is ready and willing to give Doug McDermott big minutes. There just HAS to be. The Pacers are not that team. I would consider his current minute allotment “subpar”, even if he is playing a decent role on one of the better teams in the league…

The term has been used in the past I’m pretty sure, but I’m not aware of any current NBA duo (or WWE tag-team… team) using the nickname “The Ivory Towers”. So I’m just going to go ahead and give the devastating combo of Doug McDermott and Domantas Sabonis that collective moniker. It’s perfect, because they…

Indiana is the fifth team in three years for Doug McDermott. Normally a journeyman like that doesn’t get a long contract, but the Pacers apparently liked him enough to give him a 3-year deal for 22 million dollars. 7,333,334 dollars the first two years, and a significant downgrade to 7,333,333 dollars the last year. Kind…

This video contains Doug McDermott’s first block of the season. That’s not surprising. All the NBA draft intelligentsia knew that his abysmal steal+block numbers in college weren’t likely to improve in the NBA. McDermott had a chance to pad his defensive stats against 6’0″ white dudes from the Buddlechuck Backwoods Baptist Bible College basketball team,…
