    Is McDermitt really going to be a top 10 pick?

    Remember everyone here dissed this alligator arm white kid...not even worthy of being top 20...

    If chorllette does not draft him he drops far..

    I want to bet over 9.5 but jordan is an idiot...idk

    I don't think he'd drop that far.

    Not an athlete and can't create his own shot, but he's light years ahead of his peers when it comes to understanding how to play the game.

    Guy will be able to score one on one. Post positioning and footwork are top notch in my opinion. I agree his basketball IQ is superior to many others in this draft and the fact he played 4 years of college counts for something as well.

    He can flat out score. I'd just worry about him on the defensive end, but it's not like that many players play defense anyways.

    lolz... he has been the most heavily defended player in college the last 4 years and still the best scorer... he was unstoppable... best pure shooter and best bball iq to come out of the draft... again, he has been nba ready for at least 2 years...

    This kid will be a stud. Went to Ames high in iowa and played with barnes. Barnes got all the media hype but McDermitt is the better player imho. Live and work in ames and caught a few of thier games. Fun to watch em both at HS level

    bingo.

    only someone who has never watched him play would say he was unathletic and unable to score 1 on 1.

    no one in college could guard this guy 1 on 1. hes a high motor guy who is always moving, always running from sideline to sideline and cutting to the basket. no defender could stay with him. i swear he runs a mile more than anyone else.

    the big question mark for me is can he knock down the 3 from nba distance. 3 was a huge part of his game in college and opened up the rest of the floor for him. so if he can knock them down he'll be a star but if not he'll be a bust.

    A lot of guys don't watch what happens off the ball. I used to love watching Reggie Miller and how hard he worked off the ball to get open. McDermott sprints from defense to offense and gets to his spot on the block before the defender knows what happened. Guys like that work harder before they get the ball, so when they do get the ball, the rest is simple.

    No one moves better without the ball than Dougy Buckets. I think he actually has a chance to be pretty good.

    you right about that!!! Jordan is a fukkin idiot and terrible evaluator of talent.

    Jordan trying to be a business man and draft white boy so that white people might actual care about the sport. charlotte is a predominatly black city.

    Heavily defended vs. inferior competition. Let's see him get his shot off vs. LeBron.

    I'm not exactly sure what you are contesting about my post. He was an unstoppable college player. So was Morrison and Fredette. There's a big, big difference.

    There is a difference between Dougie and those guys. Fredette was a midget and couldn't play the PG position in the NBA. Kings basically drafted him hoping he would be a 6-foot SG. Morrison was thin as a rail. At least McDermot has some bulk and size, he should have no problem getting his shot off in the NBA. Both Morrison and Fredette were at a big disadvantage from a physical standpoint.

    Agree, though McDermott won't be trying to play the 2 either. He's not big or strong enough to be a 4 or quick enough to be a 3, and he's going to be a defensive liability.

    There are many things McDermott's going to bring to the table, and what you see is what you get, which is a tremendous asset as well. I'm just not sure he's going to be anything other than a solid, serviceable NBA player. He's a "safe" pick definitely, but his upside and potential is pretty limited.

    Jordan may think he's the next Kukoc. Dougie isn't that versatile though. I'm never big on white players in the NBA, think Stauskas will be a bust. Dougie can make a name for himself in the league though. I think he's the first white kid I've given a chance to be successful, maybe ever.

    Say what? Going back, there are plenty of examples, but what about Kevin Love? Is he not successful or not white enough?

    I agree with you on McDermott not having a true position. Too small for PF's, and not quick enough for SF's. Even if he did have a true position, he would still be a defensive liability. I really hope he does well though, always liked him at Creighton.

    morrison and fredette were unstoppable? he is 2x the player both those kids were/are... now i understand why you are so confused... you are comparing him to them and are ridiculously off base

    fwiw, he will score, at will, on lebron too.. lebron too lazy to chase him around all night...

    That's what I'm hearing also. If McDermott is there at 9, Charlotte will take him, if for some reason he's gone, than they're likely to take Stauskas. Either way, they're looking to take a shooter with the pick. Those two guys are probably the best pure shooters in the draft.

    Ok big guy. Tell me how McDermott's college career is SOOOO different than Jimmer's and Morrison's. I watched a ton of all three of them, all similar games (offensive juggernaut, no defense, high volume scorers, etc.) All started to produce in their sophomore season and finished strong in their last year. Oh and they all led the nation in scoring in their last year in college. Yeah....they really are sooo different. C'mon.

    McDermott final year: 26 ppg
    Morrison final year: 28 ppg
    Jimmer final year: 28ppg

    Personally, I like McDermott. He's not the best athlete you'll ever see, but he's got a great stroke, and he has a high basketball IQ. Sometimes the smarter player with less athletic ability ends up better than the great athlete who doesn't have as good a feel for the game. McDermott can't rely on god given natural ability like Wiggins can, he has to work harder than those guys to maximize his potential. I've watched enough of his games to know the kid can play, and I think he would be a great pick for Charlotte.
