Doug McDermott was the Spurs’ biggest offseason acquisition, by far. With many veterans leaving and the team in dire need of outside shooting, the front office decided to offer the sharpshooter, fresh off a great season with the Pacers, a three-year deal worth around $40 million.
At times, McDermott’s addition has seemed questionable. Most compound stats suggest he’s one of the worst players on the team and despite plugging an obvious hole as a knockdown shooter with the starters, he has struggled in other aspects. Simply put, he’s not been as good as he was last season.
It doesn’t mean he hasn’t been valuable, though.
