Sharpshooter Doug McDermott says the young Spurs’ ultra-fast pace will help him get open looks: “We are getting up and down, everyone is passing the ball, everyone is getting shots.”Spurs forward Doug McDermott is the first to admit his stellar 3-point shooting last season had a lot to do with the play of point guard Dejounte Murray.
The Spurs traded Murray to Atlanta in July, but McDermott is optimistic he will continue to thrive from deep this season as the team takes advantage of its youth and athleticism for what the ninth-year pro believes will be a faster, more free-wheeling attack. “It was tough,” he said of sitting out. “Obviously, I wanted to finish the year strong, and we had a little push to get into the playoffs. Not being able to be a part of it was really frustrating. Thankfully, I had the summer right after that and was able to take my time and heal rather than rushing back. All feels well now and I am ready to go.
With so many youngsters on the roster — 10 players are 22 or younger — and the coaches focused mainly on development, McDermott, 30, expects a less stressful atmosphere that will allow the youngsters to take chances without fear of repercussions.
