Doug McDermott was signed by the Indiana Pacers for one overarching reason — he can shoot put the ball in the basket consistently from the area of the court where it is worth more points to do so.
McDermott is good at other things, but shooting is his main attraction. He’s hit over 40 percent of his bombs throughout his career, and he can get them up so quickly that he is an off-ball threat at all times. In the shooting department, he’s one of the best.
Just not at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the arena that he plays half of his games in.
