Indiana Pacers

Doug McDermott 

Throughout his career, Doug McDermott has had several pop moments, whether it was with the Chicago Bulls or Dallas Mavericks. Now, with the Indiana Pacers, he will have an opportunity to really show his talents and prove his worth.

The Pacers did a really great job with the progression of Victor Oladipo this past season, and have done well with Myles Turner over the last few seasons. Could they do the same with McDermott who, in some opinions, hasn’t been given the minutes that he really deserves?

Indiana quietly had a great offseason, adding a couple of players that could really help this team get better. McDermott was a part of that great offseason.
