re: Doug McDermott just killed NBA Summer League

To play real minutes you need at least one elite skill. I didn't say you said anything. I asked you a question

Hustle counts as a skill. Being smart is a skill. Shooting 3s from the corner would work.

Can he shoot? Can he lock someone down? Can he get a tough rebound in traffic? What does he do well enough to deserve more playing time?

The league is full of guys with potential. The league is short on guys that figure out what they need to do to play.

My guess from watching him a little is: he can't shoot from the outside well enough to be a stretch four

He can't beat people off the dribble so he isn't a 3

He can't pass worth a shite (3TOs/g)

He is stuck in between positions and too stubborn to fix it

He doesn't play hard enough to be an energy guy

If I was his agent, I would tell to stand in the corner and shoot 1000 3s in the morning and stand in the corner and shoot 1000 3s in the afternoon. Everyday. All summer.
