No he is another overrated white player that white people get excited about every March. He will be a Kyle Korver type in the NBA and nothing more.
This dude is ridiculous. He is shooting close to 49% from 3 for his career, makes ridiculous shots, etc. Sure, players such as Re and Morrison were compared to Bird, but this dude is nuts. He's 5th all time on the scoring list. Check him out tonight around 7:30 when they play Baylor..
Is he the next Bird?
His SR year highlights:

Every white guy that can shoot and score is not Larry Bird
Great White Hope nonsense: Doug McDermott hurt by racist Larry Bird hype as NCAA tourney heats up

He takes Dirk-like fadeaways which wont work in the NBA as he isnt tall enough. Most of his post moves are so unathletic he'll get owned like Hansbrough. He appears to be a pretty decent ballhandler which means he could be a bit more than a spot up shooter in the NBA, but I doubt he's any better than a 6th man for a decent team.
its not like Bird was known for his 3 point shooting
agree, the comparison of him to Bird is just as meaningless and stupid as that of Kobe to MJ imho. Just because one imitates another it doesn't mean they're gonna play alike on the court.
Bird had a complete skillset, his 3pt shooting was just a small part of it.
So does Doug. Watch em tonight
in hindsight people speak of bird's 3 point shooting abilities as if he was ray allen or something... he attempted less than 2 per game for his career.
Yup.
1.9 per game.
Bird preferred mid-range game and trading elbows under the basket
Michael Jordan !
@ considering 3pt% in the ncaa as meaningful for the nba
I think McDermott could make a decent GM someday so sure.
I will say no. He needs to get an NBA contract and pah off den student loans. I read an article yesterday that he is a walk on and didn't get a scholarship. He should just try to get a decent pay day while he can.
