On the first day of training camp, Doug McDermott made a play during a scrimmage that once would have drawn praise from the head coach but now tends to bring a reprimand. He dared pass up a 3-pointer to make the "extra pass" to another shooter closer to the basket.
"What do you think I want you to do there?" Nate McMillan asked at the next dead ball.
"Shoot it," McDermott said.
"Exactly."
That's probably the last time McDermott will have to be told to put up an open 3-pointer. Threes are his forte, the primary reason Chicago made him a lottery pick in 2014 and the Pacers signed him to a three-year contract in July.
