CHICAGO -- As Chicago Bulls forward Doug McDermott tries to turn the corner in his second NBA season, there is one opponent that has repeatedly stood in his way more than anyone else: himself.
"I'm my biggest critic," McDermott said. "I'm really hard on myself. That can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing. I think in college it's a good thing because you have a week between your next game. In the NBA, you have a game, and then you have another game the next day. So if you're constantly down on yourself, being mad about a play the night before, it's going to affect the way you play the next night.
