Haven't played that much MyCareer in 2k17 but in 2k15, Doug Mcdermott was the guy I gave all the crap to on the Bulls team. The problem with Doug is that it appeared as if someone fully convinced him before each game that he would become M.J personified once he stepped on the court. Unfortunately for him, Dougie didn't even start, he came off the bench. So he resolved to fix this by putting up as many shots as he possibly could during his brief time on the floor. Whatever lead I had managed to build up against the ultra-cheesy HOF AI, Doug made sure he had effectively erased by the time I returned.
Mcdernoop as I liked to call him, was a walking talking brick-laying machine with the shooting IQ of-that's right- a brick. Square bricks, rectangular bricks, off the rim and over the backboard bricks, you name it, Mcdermott Bricks and Tiles Unlimited had it hot and ready to deliver.On fast breaks, instead of spotting up in the corner, he'd make a beeline for the basket and demand the ball. He would attempt to post up much bigger stronger players on the low block, even though he had no post moves whatsoever. I also had the misfortune of seeing Doug "isolate" his match-up various time throughout the end of a quarter. Doug would tentatively dribble the ball at the top of the key, give several unconvincing hesis to try to "shake" the opposing player then pull up for his favorite patented shot, the fadeaway contested 3, which of course was a certified brick. Our generic 2K coach seemed to share Doug's illusion of greatness because he would occasionally demand we run the offense through Mcdermott. I would work hard and long to free Mcdermott up with screens and plays, only to watch him wait until the AI had closed out on him to shoot the low quality contested shot, because in Doug's philosophy contested shots were the only shots worth taking. Layups didn't exist in Doug's world, the pull-up 5 footer was always the way to go. Did my 5 footer get blocked? Grab the board, spin and attempt a fade this time. Doug didn't seem to care if he had missed his previous 25 shots (which he probably had) or if his other teammates were open and or calling for the ball. The ball was currently in the hands of the best player on the court and he was going to shoot it period. On the rare occasions where he actually made the shot, Mcdermott would celebrate so long and vigorously that his matchup would end up getting a wide open look at the other end, thereby erasing whatever basket he had just made. Somehow Doug would always find himself on the court during late, close game situations, which meant that I was basically playing 4 on 5 and at a heavy disadvantage. More than once did Mcdermott put up the game losing shot, always under heavy defensive duress.
As revenge, neither I nor the rest of the team would provide Doug with any help in isolation situations against stars like LeBron, PG-13, or Durant. Therefore it was almost routine but very enjoyable to watch the foolish Mcdermott get used and abused by superstars just about every other game, although it certainly didn't take a superstar to burn Doug. One pump fake and he was flying through the clouds. But I'll leave his defense for another day.
