McDermott came off the bench to net 23 points (8-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five boards in 33 minutes of action during Tuesday's preseason win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott's 23 points tied him with teammate Jimmy Butler as the game's leading scorer. Though he took a unleashed a high volume of shots, McDermott was at least efficient from three-point range, an encouraging sign after that was the main area where he struggled during the Las Vegas Summer League. With the Bulls replacing defensive-minded coach Tom Thibodeau behind the bench this season, McDermott should receive more opportunities to see the court in his sophomore campaign, especially while the similarly-skilled Mike Dunleavy remains sidelined by injury in the early portion of the year.
