Love Vs McDermott

[clover]

There's a really easy alternative to trading the farm for Kevin Love, paying him 20 mil/per, and then watch him complain at the slightest hint of adversity for 6 years.

Doug McDermott I can be as good as Kevin Love, or close to it, without the trade cost, cap crippling contract, and poor leadership.


Sounds like a text message Doug will be sending to Danny on Draft Day when he slips into the 20's!

I wouldn't be surprised to see McDermott crack the top 10 on draft day.

Ray Allen played a lot like McDermott does, and he had great success coming off screens for Rondo assists. McDermott really is in that class of shooter, especially coming off screens and catch and shooting. Very very few guys can do that as well and as consistently as McDermott and Ray Allen.

Love isn't one of them.

did you watch him against Baylor in the tournament , when he had to face actual NBA defense and athleticism ?

College ball =/= NBA. Adam Morrison, Jimmer Fredette and JJ Redick were amazing coming off screens and shooting well CONSISTENTLY in the NCAA. Love is better than all of those players.

Everybody said Stephen Curry was too unathletic to be great in the NBA. He hadn't even dominated ONE game when he was passed over 6 times on draft night. His shooting % in college were about the same as Doug's.

Curry has a great handle and play making ability, he averged close to 6 assists per game his Jr. year at Davidson , McDermott avg 1.6 apg his senior year .  He is Wally Zcerbiak at best, which is a solid NBA rotation player, but no way he is close to Kevin Love .

Adam Morrison wasn't great coming off screens. He was great in iso making contested shots. He was also diabetic and less athletic than McDermott.

Reddick has McDermott's shot, but not his size or world class post arsenal, which is only going to expand.

[NorthernLightning]

Wally never had McDermott's post game. I listened to Wally himself say so during the halftime of a Creighton game, because Wally does the Fox Sports games.

He said that right now McDermott has a better post game than he ever had, and Wally used the name McHale to describe it.

Ray Allen played a lot like McDermott does

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.  Hold on there, buckaroo.  You're not allowed to compare a white player to a black player on the internet.

Next thing you know, people will be comparing the cuteness of puppies and kittens.

I think it was about his first off game of the entire season, which speaks volumes about how incredibly consistent he was as the focus of every team all season. That's not something we should take for granted.

Also, how did Jabari play against Belmont? He couldn't even stay on the court because he was such a defensive liability, which he is. And yet he is a projected top 3 pick.

He will post up like McHale, shoot like Ray Allen, and rebound like Kevin Love.

That doesn't sound like a player I would be interested in

Check out this workout footage and interview released today: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Doug-McDermott-6504/

McDermott crushed the Combine last week after crushing all levels of college bball for four years. His wingspan was longer than thought, his vertical was way higher than thought, and his agility time was outstanding.

It's time to brush off the white boy stigma on this guy and see him for the future all star and possible Hall of Famer that he is.

This guy projects to be a better defender at small forward than Jabari Parker, and he has a great chance of being a better scorer as well.
Because right now he blows Parker out of the water. The only thing Jabari does better is bully people near the rim, but Jabari is going to be an undersized PF and that strength will be neutralized to some extent.

McDermott can be a better defender at the SF position than Kevin Love is at PF. He can also be as good of a scorer. Take a look at Kevin Love's shooting %s. They're not actually that good, he just pads stats on a pretty bad team.

Right now the Celtics are in position to put together a real and stable contender for the next 10 years, with all the draft picks we have now and in the coming years.

Sully and KO are both due for break out years, and PF is our best position by far.

Another great reason to draft McDermott is because we can probably trade down a couple or a few spots to get him, and pick up another late first or early second.

You don't want to end up like the Knicks, Nets, or Timberwolves, overpaying one way players, crippling your cap flexibility, and being an embarrassment for years.

It's better to rebuild the right way, making smart draft choices, even if it takes another full year to start looking like a contender.

He won't rebound like Kevin Love, because he'll be too busy playing defense to pad stats, Hollywood style. You kids need to get past your white boy bias. This isn't your run of the mill college white boy star.

It's not a matter of black vs. white.  Ray was just a lot more athletic than McDermott.  McDermott dunked a total of something like 17 times in his college career.
