Wed Oct 16 18:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Kings Sign Veteran Sharpshooter Doug McDermott to One-Year Deal

**Sacramento, CA** – The Sacramento Kings have signed veteran sharpshooter Doug McDermott to a one-year contract, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. While details of the contract are still being finalized, it’s expected to be a standard deal rather than an Exhibit 10 agreement typically used for G League purposes.

McDermott, a 10-year NBA veteran, provides the Kings with a reliable outside shooting threat off the bench. The 32-year-old brings a career 41.0% three-point shooting percentage from his time with multiple teams, including the Bulls, Thunder, Knicks, Mavericks, Pacers, and Spurs.

His arrival fills a need for the Kings, who recently traded Jalen McDaniels to San Antonio and are looking for players to fill out their roster. McDermott is expected to compete for a spot on the opening night roster.

While McDermott’s minutes may be limited in Sacramento, he provides valuable depth and experience at a crucial position. His contract is likely to be for the veteran’s minimum, allowing the Kings to add another reliable scorer without impacting their salary cap significantly.

**Fans and analysts are divided on the signing:** Some believe McDermott’s shooting will be a valuable asset to the Kings, especially in late-game situations. Others argue that the Kings’ need for defense is more pressing than their need for shooting.

Regardless of opinions, the signing of Doug McDermott adds another veteran presence to the Kings’ roster, providing them with more options as they look to improve upon last season’s success.
