Doug McDermott in the NBA
I guess it is now time to follow his pro career. I just read one of SB Nations 2014 NBA Mock Drafts, and they have him going at #13 to the Timberwolves. That would suck. NBA Draft.net has him at #10 going to Denver. CBS has him going to #9 Cleveland, #12 Orlando, and #14 Phoenix... Looks like he will be a lottery pick.

Maybe we would get lucky and the Bulls will trade up to draft him...they need a shooter.Coyote wrote:I guess it is now time to follow his pro career.

Re: Doug McDermott
Per Kevin Kugler there is a Creighton sponsored billboard in North Dallas congratulating Doug McDermott for winning the Player of the Year award!

Re: Doug McDermott
So great to see that he officially won the award. Can't believe that one voter didn't vote for him...if you look at the whole regular season, there wasn't another player in the country that came close to producing as consistently as he did.

Goes on to argue that CU was hardly on national TV, admits to only watching McDermott play three times and and questions if Doug's popularity gained from him being white.I did not expect Russ Smith to win the Associated Press national college player of the year award Thursday.
I also did not expect to be the only one of 65 AP voters who picked Smith instead of Creighton forward Doug McDermott.
But that's what happened.
And I'm fine with it. I understand why McDermott won. I don't understand why Smith, the Louisville senior, only earned one vote -- mine. Or why Shabazz Napier of Connecticut did not earn any.
You didn't have to watch either Smith or Napier play as many times as I did to understand this was hardly the year for a unanimous call.

Re: Doug McDermott
Wow, just read it. The mention of anything to do with race is completely ignorant. Russ Smith is a good player but McDermott was the most consistent player in college basketball, hence the other 64 votes.

Re: Doug McDermott
What a |expletive| idiot. As if his claims about Creighton not appearing on national TV often (which is bullsh*t, every single regular and post-season game was televised) wasn't bad enough, he goes and cites race as a reason for Doug's popularity.iamjacobm wrote:http://www.wdrb.com/story/25159380/bozi ...

Re: Doug McDermott
The author pretty much gets blasted in the comments.
He even says:
Fifth all-time scorer in NCAA history > Fifth all-time leading scorer at Louisville
He even says:
Doesn't even mention that McDermott is the fifth all-time scorer in NCAA history.He became an all-around player, the fifth all-time leading scorer at Louisville.

Blakely's NBA mock draft 3.0: Embiid in green
10. Philadelphia (via New Orleans): Doug McDermott, F, Creighton (+) — Strong showing at pre-draft combine should solidify his lottery pick (top-14) status.

Re: Doug McDermott
At the combine Doug a McDermott comes in at 6'6" 218
Re: Doug McDermott
Hope that doesn't hurt his draft stock since he was already considered undersized at 6'8.
Re: Doug McDermott
Pretty small. There is room for shooters in the NBA I just hope he goes to a team hat will know how to use him.

Re: Doug McDermott
I don't think Doug will drop all the way to the Spurs, but maybe his height issue will help him not go to lottery school and fall far enough to a team that has playoff hopes. I didn't know the Bluejays were such Spur fans though...
SI.com: Is there a team that runs a system that you think you would be a good fit in?
McDermott: "I like to play up and down. I'd say the Spurs -- that's who everyone on Creighton dreams of playing for. They have great ball movement. They don't care about who is scoring. We liked watching the Spurs back in Omaha. A lot of teams are moving in that direction. The Hawks, the Suns -- a lot of shooters that like to space the floor.
Re: Doug McDermott
That measurement surprised me as he didnt seem the type to bother exaggerating that much. He's going to have to have a little quick in him. If he's at least as quick as JJ Redick maybe he will survive. At that size he may not even get the big forward but the small one or even a big guard. Will be interesting to see. D isnt a premium in the league for a lot of guys, so, as long as he hits shots consistently...

Re: Doug McDermott
I am still hoping that he goes to the Bulls. It looks like they have the 16th and 19th picks, so it is possible. I know that the article in the paper stated that he has talked to a bunch of the Bulls front office. I think he would be a great fit for the Bulls, they need a good shooter (that was evident in the playoffs this year)

Re: Doug McDermott
I'd like to see Doug go to Golden State. I am interested on seeing what Steve Kerr will do there.
Lottery is tonight, and ESPN's Jay Bilas still has Doug as the #7 top pick.

I am thrilled to have a Creighton player in the lottery discussion. How cool is this!

Now that the lottery picks are slotted, it will be interesting to see teams needs vs mock drafts...

Re: Doug McDermott
2014 NBA mock draft: Cavaliers should go big at No. 1 with Joel Embiid
16. Chicago Bulls (from Hornets): Doug McDermott, F, Creighton
The Bulls seem to be constantly searching for more offensive weapons to augment a defense that is perennially one of the league's best. Specifically, Chicago needs shooters after finishing with the fifth lowest amount of made three-pointers per game last season.
All Creighton's Doug McDermott did was finish his career as the NCAA's fifth all-time leading scorer. He's also arguably the best perimeter shooter in the draft after hitting over 44 percent of his three-pointers the last three seasons with the Bluejays. No one is sure how McDermott is going to defend NBA small forwards, but if anyone can figure that out, it's Tom Thibodeau.

Re: Doug McDermott
I have seen two mock drafts that have him going 9th to Charlotte.
Re: Doug McDermott
A Charlotte pick would make sense they really need a good shooter.

Re: Doug McDermott
I heard this morning that Doug will have a tryout with Kobe, errrr, the Lakers (#7 pick) next week, and then the Celtics (#6 pick)...

Re: Doug McDermott
I still am hoping for the Bulls to get him, but I doubt that he would drop that low (#14 I believe).
Re: Doug McDermott
Doug is working out with all of the teams between 7 and 15, as that is where they expect him to go.

Re: Doug McDermott
With one week left before the draft, pundits have Doug going to Charlotte, unless the Lakers or (God forbid) Sacramento takes him first. Speaking of first, the 7 ft Kansas center has foot problems and he may drop like a stone from Cleveland's pick.
