    Doug McDermott.

    No but seriously it should be Ellington or Rudy Gay.

    I actually would rather get Dougie McBuckets... the dude is 6’8” and can shoot the lights out... over 40% 3pt career in NBA and hasn’t even played in a good system... I would definitely try to get McDermott on the cheap

    Wait, you complain about the prospect of getting Courtney Lee but want Doug McDermott???

    He's awful at everything except for 3pt shooting...

    Courtney Lee is on the downside of his career at 33 years old and is either a backup at SG or creates an extremely small starting lineup at SF... Dougie McBuckets can flat out score, has size, and hasn’t hit his prime yet... I like upside over an aging journeyman who averaged 12 ppg in 30 min on a 28 win team

    Mcdermott is completely Trash. Not even worth for the minimum

    Doug "McBuckets" isn't efficient from inside the arc (less than 50%) and doesn't get the the FT like (apx .15 FTr). So he's only effective as a 3pt shooter, and doesn't add anything else...

    Allen Crabbe also averaged 13ppg and 30 min on a bad team, that doesn't mean he's a good player to have in the rotation. That 28 win team didn't even want to sign him for a cheap QO offer.

    McDermott off the bench with guys like CJ and Lillard would have open looks all game long. He just needs to stand there and make shots. Be Kyle Korver. Be Steve Kerr. Be a guy who a team needs to keep an eye on. We don’t have that.

    You have obviously never seen McDermott play... you don’t even watch games, just look up useless stats and arm measurements to judge a player... Doug hasn’t hit his prime and has been stuck in shitty offenses... he was the best scorer in the country in college and even tho he was misused in NBA still shot over 40% 3pt every season

    Walt Williams, James Jones and Wesley Person! I miss those guys. Not sure if McDermott is anything like them.

    I could probably be talked into McDermott. Not everyone we go after has to be a perfect player. Just fill a role.

    He is only 26 years old, never played in a good system, 6’8” and can shoot from anywhere on the court

    Our defense would also be horrible because McDermott can't guard a paperclip. We don't have the luxury of being able to play poor defenders at SF.

    At least watch the first 4 shots he makes... cutting to the basket, moving without the ball, putting ball on court and driving, dunking... how is he only a 3pt shooter?? Please watch and respond... and this is NBA competition, not some low level overseas league

    What do you honestly think would improve if he came here?

    Did you even watch??? I’m proving your point that all he can do is shoot threes is wrong

    I can find a game where Nurkic drops 33 and looks like Hakeem. It's highlights bro. HCP can make Joel Pryzbilla look like Shaq.

    So you say he has these skills... okay. Somehow they don't translate into production. Is 48% from 2pt for a career good? It's not. Somehow he hasn't produced. He also gets lit up every time he steps on the court, and is one of the worst defenders in the league. You don't seem to value defense too much.
