During the 2014 NBA draft, Doug McDermott was selected with the 11th overall pick by the Denver Nuggets, although McDermott was quickly moved to the Chicago Bulls, where he spent three years playing as a sharpshooter from the Bulls bench.

After leaving the Bulls in 2017, McDermott went on to play for the OKC Thunder, New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks within a year, as McDermott's three-point shooting ability is seen as a major asset by NBA teams.

The 26-year-old's accuracy from behind the arc was enough to convince the Pacers to hand him a three-year $22 million deal in the summer, however, McDermott has proved to be a bad fit in Indiana.

McDermott's current points per game total (6.9) is a near career low. and he is currently averaging just 17.6 minutes-per-game. Ultimately, a number of teams will be interested in adding the 27-year-old's three-point range, and the Pacers need to either increase McDermotts minutes or trade him away.
