Deshaun Thomas > McDermott
McDermott has a beautifully smooth, controlled, consistent game and can score from anywhere, he would fit in really well wherever he ends up. Deshaun Thomas' game is much more stylish and explosive... In my opinion they will both have trouble scoring down low in the NBA, and will have to transition to play more as a SF, but I don't see why this would be a problem for either of them.. I'd say it's almost a toss up, but McDermott's shooting stroke is so consistent from NBA range that it gives him the edge for now...
thats false. McDermott hardly gets any plays ran for him, what is so impressive about his game is how hard he works for his shots. It seems like you think he is like JJ Redick and just running off screens all day - that hardly happens.

for the record, both are second rounders in my book. neither of their games translate too well
why do you guys think Thomas' game will not be effective in the NBA. Good touch around the basket and the ability to score of pick and pop, spot ups or off a screen. Not much of a handler or creator but i feel he can atlest develop some sort of 1/2 dribble pull up/middle game.
I think he'll continue to get better as the year goes on. Only seen Mcdermott once, cant really judge him.
There is no reason to be higher on McDermott than Deshaun Thomas!!!
