When the Indiana Pacers brought in swingman Doug McDermott in the offseason, fan opinion wavered. The former Dallas Maverick garnered a three year, $22M deal, which is a fair contract for a shooting wing in today’s NBA.
The former 11th overall pick in 2014 out of Creighton, McDermott has always been a high-level shot maker. However, the rest of his game hasn’t developed as many had expected. He is somewhat of a journeyman, with Indiana being his fifth NBA team in five seasons.
Through the first four games of the 2018-19 NBA season, Dougie McBuckets has produced at as high a level you could have asked from him.
