Draft Profile: Creighton SF Doug McDermott

Doug McDermott #3 College: Creighton Class: Freshman NBA Position: Small Forward Height: 6'7" Weight: 210 lbs Birthday: 1/3/1992

Player Biography: Creighton has done a nice job developing NBA talent, most recently Kyle Korver and Anthony Tolliver. Doug McDermott has a chance to be the Jays' next pro prospect . Overshadowed by Harrison Barnes at Ames High, McDermott elected to play for his dad, Creighton head coach Greg McDermott. He has produced as a freshman, leading the team in scoring (14.4PPG) and rebounding (7.7RPG). McDermott has played so well that when Greg Echenique became eligible after transferring, Missouri Valley Preseason Player of the Year Kenny Lawson was benched instead of the freshman. While McDermott is clearly a very good college player, he will need to continue to develop in order to reach the NBA. He is more of a power forward at this point, but due to his size, he will need to continue to transition into a small forward. With such a great start, it should be fun watching McDermott develop over the next few seasons.
