McDermott spent just 22 games with the Thunder after being traded from the
Bulls, and averaged 9.0 points, and 2.7 rebounds in 2016-17 across his time with
both teams. In his three seasons, he has been impressive as a deep threat and as
a scorer, but lacks defensively. With the Knicks, he may see a bigger role, as
he’ll face much less competition for playing time than he would have with
Oklahoma City in 2017-18. There will likely be more updates on his role in the
Knicks rotation going forward.
