Hoiberg attempts to rebuild McDermotts confidence

_GB · Jul 14, 2015

New coach Fred Hoiberg said labeling McDermott as small forward or stretch power forward is unnecessary in today's NBA, citing Harrison Barnes, coincidentally McDermott's high school teammate, playing power forward for the Warriors in the NBA Finals.

"I've got a lot of confidence in Doug and I've been trying to portray that to him and get him to go out and play with confidence," Hoiberg said. "That's what it's all about. I mean he's obviously very gifted in scoring with what he did on college. He's very versatile, scores inside-outside, midrange.

"When he had the injury, obviously Chicago was playing great and had some guys out there that had it rolling. Tom (Thibodeau) went with the guys that he felt could win him games. For Doug right now it's just about getting him back in that mode of being a basketball player."
