Sure but if you are criticising someone for shooting poorly ,you need to have a sample size that is meaningful.

If you see no sign of improvement through the year and he looks the same next year then that is the time to start panicking.

the thing is, my opinion on mcdermott was formed based on a sample size of 4 full years of college play. his poor performance so far is just helping confirm the previously held theory that he would not be a particularly good NBA player.

Doug sucks and will always suck. He can be completely written off and never needs to be discussed again.

The reason he's shook isn't because he's a rookie, it's because he's completely overwhelmed athletically.

Dougie can dunk, he's not really hurt by not being able to run fast or jump, it's airballing open 3s that has hurt him the most. He dominated summer league against nba scrubs and fellow rookies so not sure he was so athletically challenged against fringe nba competition. Thibodeau lobbied hard for Doug after he scrimmaged with team USA, but I guess a dude on the net with a five figure post count knows more about basketball than an nba lifer. Point taken.

Isaiah Thomas is an NBA lifer. Look at his list of best PGs.

He was a guy your team deemed worth trading 2 1sts to trade up for. Those are his expectations.

I agree the Bulls have a pretty solid draft track record.

You post in this thread a lot and you're a Bulls fan and you don't know about how terrible your trade for Dougie was and how his expectations except for a few talking heads was a total bust?

Damn Ougie is 24/26 in PER for rookies and he's an offensively minded player, what a total joke.

The Bulls track record is good because they go after players who will be a bit older when they enter the league, and therefore are more likely to contribute right away. I think it's not only a viable strategy, but the best one for a team who is good and will typically be picking I'm the late stages. More "good" teams should be willing to employ this strat imo.

Trading a high 20s and early teens pick isn't the same as trading say a 7&11 to move up to 5, it's really not. All that is expected from Doug is to not embarrass himself on defense and hit open 3s, he's not hitting open 3s and is now injured. what little run he did get initially was halved after failing to knock down open shots and he's been injured for the past week. He's literally less than two months into his pro career, you can go the hyperbole route and call him the bust of the century but cooler heads and smarter minds know better.
