It's tough to project how much playing time McDermott will receive in his first season on a team whose coach plays a demanding defensive scheme; that returns most of their key contributors from last year; added Nikola Mirotic and Pau Gasol and has star point guard Derrick Rose returning from injury. Yet it's not hard to see the Bulls turning to McDermott – who led the nation in scoring at Creighton last year and is one of the best three-point shooters in this class – to spark a late run or help snap a cold shooting spell. Chicago ranked No. 26 in the league in three-pointers made and No. 27 in offensive efficiency last season. McDermott can help nudge those figures in the right direction.
