EDGE Analysis

McDermott got a season-high 30 minutes Tuesday and showed flashes of the type of player he can be for Chicago. He shot the ball with confidence, which isn't saying much considering there wasn't any pressure on him due to the scoreboard. Regardless, seeing five three-point shots fall is huge for McDermott and could gradually allow for more playing time.
