Confidence issues still looming over McDermott
Posted January 15, 2017 12:00 am
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The weight of being the 11th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft is washing off Doug McDermott.
Admittedly, however, it's been a "slow wash."
"Yeah, it has slowly washed off of me," McDermott said. "I'm working hard and trying to get better, and that's all I'm really worried about right now."
If only it were that simple.
McDermott's ups and downs continue to be drastic. Entering the Sunday night game with Memphis, the forward remained a study of inconsistency. Even in the month of January, the good, the bad, and the ugly of McDermott's game has been on full display.
