    One of my favorite prospects this year as I think he’s very interesting. What role do you see him playing in the NBA? Can he score like he can in college in the NBA? I think his shooting is obviously very helpful, but he is sneaky in the ways he can score. Thoughts on how he will do in the NBA when he comes out?

    Well I don’t think he will score 23 points a game if that is what you are asking. I think he will have a tough time getting off the bench because he is used to playing the 4 but will never make it in the NBA as a power forward. He has a nice outside shot and could score some points at the 3 but he isn’t going to wow anyone with his defense. I think he will be in the league for a while but I don’t think he will make too much noise.

    I honestly believe he will be a lot like another Creighton product in Kyle Korver, both those guys can shoot the ball and I believe that is where McDermott’s career will go.

    He is the pick I really want for the Pacers unless Kabongo shows us something special. 3 point shooters are becoming more and more important in todays NBA and I honestly believe he will be a very good one.

    No I don’t think he’ll touch 23 a game. Just didn’t know if he could be a decent option for a team or if he was relegated to a role like Kyle Korver like someone said. I think he could settle around 10 with a decent 3pt %.

    He’s not a screen shooter, like Korver. He has mad post game and is a great spot up shooter, he’s really tough as well and he’s used to being double and triple teamed. He really needs to improve his handle, but I think he’ll find a spot and play a long time. I’ve always thought he was like a smaller Matt Harpring. He couple be a 7-12 ppg guy in his prime.
