I never know how to read a young player being repeatedly traded.

On one hand, multiple teams have been happy to use him to acquire other pieces. On the other hand, multiple teams have said, "hey, we want this guy."

Knick's new sharpshooter shows off skills in preseason loss
McDermott showed his potential for instant offense off the bench as he started the game 5-for-5: a fadeaway corner 3 that rattled in, an assertive righty drive, another layup in traffic, a dunk off a perfect backdoor cut and another 3 from a couple feet behind the line on the right wing. The heat check came from even deeper and clanged off the rim.

Houston won and Mcdermott scored 8 points in 32 minutes. Probably not what the Mavericks were hoping for.

Mobile McDermott Hopes He's Found a Home
The Pacers were Doug McDermott's favorite team as a kid growing up in Iowa, and that's not something he claims just because he's signed a contract with the Pacers. He's got the paraphernalia to prove it.

The Pacers are going to be even better this year. Having a three ball threat will really let them challenge in the east. And losing Lance to my Lakers was probably a good move as he can be pretty combustible. Even though I do think he and Lebron on the same team will actually work well.

When you’re a journeyman player like Kyle Korver or McDermott, you don’t unpack your bags very long in the NBA. Frankly, that’s the reality of life for most NBA players..

That former Husker Erik Piatkowski played most of his year NBA career in Los Angeles (10 of his 15 seasons with the Clippers) was/is a rarity...

Doug made SI's all-decade team. He was placed along with Zion, Davis, Kemba, and Buddy Hield. It's a nice designation and he was noted as the best mid-major player in the decade.

In the Pacers' Jan. 4 game at Atlanta, McDermott joined Pete Maravich, Hersey Hawkins, Freeman Williams and Lionel Simmons as the only players to ever score 3,000 career points at both the NBA and at the Division I level.

Doug McDermott 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2020)



It is an indisputable fact that Doug McDermott TOOK OVER this game with ABSOLUTE FURY. He scored eighteen of his twenty-four points in the fourth quarter to turn a seven-point deficit into a comfortable eight-point victory for the Pace Cars of Indianapolis. I could hear Nuggets fans all the way in Colorado collectively yelling at their TV screens as shot after shot swished through the net for the one who has rightfully earned the nickname "Dougie McBuckets". The Nuggets players on the floor, meanwhile, were visibly deflated whenever McBuckets somehow snuck himself open to score another McBucket.

Doug McDermott 19 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2020)



Doug McDermott has proudly worn the "Dougie McBuckets" moniker ever since his college days and maybe even before that (I'm too lazy to do research on the origins of the nickname). However, for most of his time in the NBA, the name "McBuckets" hasn't accurately reflected his on-court production, because a nickname like that implies that he gets buckets at a rate that's significantly higher than league average.

McDermott to the Spurs:

https://www.poundingtherock.com/2021/8/ ... -the-spurs

Good fit for McDermott, and a little more than I expected him to make. I expect his career arc to be not quite as high as Korver's, but similar, in that I bet he can play in the NBA into his late 30s if he wants and keeps his 3pt% high.

If he was a better defender, he'd be a huge 3 and D asset. But even still, a consistent 3pt shooter that can finish at the rim is a valuable tool for every team. I agree, he'll play into his mid 30s.

Absolutely, if he were a little more athletic and a little bit better on defense, that'd be a 22-25m/yr contract. But as is, he has the potential to be 6th man of the Year on the right team, and for someone like the Spurs, he should work well.

I think he best possible spot would have been the Lakers, but I think they would have been looking to sign him around 8-9m for one or two years, and I can't blame someone for taking a 14m/yr contract in a state that has much lower taxes over 8/9m year in Cali.

Doug McDermott took part in an elite-level "Through The Lens" NBA run this last week or two.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, John Wall, James Harden, Trae Young, Miles Bridges (surprised he was there given his legal issues), and Doug were some of the names in Series 2. Doug was on a team with James Harden, Trae Young, Miles Bridges, and Trey Liles. Games were played to 8 by one's and it was the first team to win 3.

Series 1 and 2 can be watched here.

Doug McDermott Ready to Start 10th NBA Season


Creighton University graduate Doug McDermott will be entering his 10th season in the NBA when his season starts tonight, continuing a school tradition of Bluejays playing at pro basketball's highest level. Including 2023-24, Creighton has now had an NBA player in 40 of the last 41 years, and 57-of-60 seasons since 1964-65.

McDermott played at Creighton from 2010-14 and left as the most decorated men's basketball player in school history. He ranks seventh in NCAA history with 3,150 career points and swept 14 National Player of the Year awards as a senior. McDermott was a three-time conference player of the year and became the first male in 30 years to be named a First Team All-American three straight seasons by the Associated Press.

He’s carved himself out as a decent bench journeyman sharp shooter. Never an All Star level or really consistent starter like Korver, but a great career nonetheless. I’d sure like to play 10 years in the NBA and pocket $70 million. Though I think NBA players only take home about half their salary after taxes and agent fees.
