The newest Indiana Pacer, Doug McDermott, has had an interesting road in his still young NBA career. Two and a half years in Chicago, a cup of coffee in Oklahoma City. A cameo with the Knicks, lunch with the Mavericks. And now he returns to the heartland from whence he made his name as a college all-American (at Creighton).
He is not a star anymore. He probably won’t be one with the Pacers either, but he does possess a very valuable skill that NBA teams (including obviously the Pacers) covet. This 26-year-old can shoot.
He’s a career 40% shooter from three, twice he’s shot over 42% for a season.
