Doug McDermott came into this season as an important piece to the Bulls’ puzzle, especially given the lack of shooting on the roster. After making notable strides in his second year, there was hope he could continue to develop in his third NBA season and become a consistent contributor. Unfortunately, McDermott appears to be going backward. A concussion earlier this season was a notable setback, but we’re now over two months since he returned from that. And at a time where the Bulls could really use McDermott’s skill set, his minutes are dwindling due to his overall ineffectiveness. Since that 31-point outburst in Memphis, McDermott hasn’t played more than 24 minutes in any game (12 games). His overall shooting numbers are good (46.2 FG%, 42.9 3P%), but that’s in only 18.6 minutes per game and he’s done little else. The Bulls’ offensive rating in those McDermott minutes is a poor 101.1, and we know he’s not doing anything to help the defense. read more http://www.blogabull.com/2017/2/12/14587300/the-bulls-doug-mcdermott-problem
