McDermott's value is as a shooter. He can hit tough on-the-move 3s coming off screens, and that gravity can open up space for his teammates. He has shot over 40% from 3 for each of the last seven seasons, and does so on high volume, including some pretty difficult attempts. He's a below-average 2-point shooter, especially in recent seasons, but he knows that and takes the majority of his attempts from 3. He's not someone who you will put the ball in his hands, but he can attack hard closeouts or take a couple dribbles after coming off a screen and catching. McDermott is below-average on defense, mainly due to his lack of quickness and laterally mobility, but at least has enough size to battle with some of the bigger strong wings. He isn't a defensive playmaker at all, as he has been at the bottom of the league in steal rate for essentially his entire career. He also doesn't rebound very well on either side of the ball.  McDermott will be 33 years old as a free agent in 2025 and has shown some slight regression in recent years. However, as long as he can hit shots at a high level, he should be able to stick around in the NBA. The Kings signed him to a partially-guaranteed contract very late in free agency in 2024, so it didn't seem like he had much interest from other teams.
