Doug McDermott's 31-point Summer League Performance - Twitter's Reaction

Doug McDermott scored 31 points in Chicago’s 103-76 win over Denver. He did in his black Bulls jersey what Creighton fans saw night in and night out when he was wearing white and blue.

After Doug McDermott’s Summer League debut, he had this to say about the game?

McDermott and Gary Harris, players involved in the trade that sent Doug to Chicago, prepared to face each other. McDermott finished with 31 points while Harris was held to just 9 after scoring 33 on Saturday.

Forget about his adjustment period. The NBA is in for a hard lesson if they keep going under screens against Doug McDermott.

McDermott comes out HOT, knocking down his first two threes, getting fouled on his third. He's easily the crowd favorite.

Doug McDermott is absolutely feeling it..he's got 26pts (7/12 FGAs, 7/7 FTAs) through 3Qs on @NBATV #NBASummer pic.twitter.com/qGzOgAknnL

If McDermott can hit shots when the bright lights start — it will be a lot of fun watching him play alongside Rose.

McDermott is lighting it up with 26pts on 7-11 shooting (5-8 on threes). #NBASummerLeague

Bulls summer guys with 10 threes in first half, four by Snell and three by McDermott. Mike D'Antoni says he's never seen anything like it

Doug just doin' Doug today.

McDermott with first NBA dunk on fast break. It's being called the vanilla thunder, cover your head, teeth rattling, Nuggets hiding special

— Sam Smith (@SamSmithHoops) July 14, 2014

Make three times now in two games that someone has fouled Doug while he's shooting a three.

Doug McDermott didn't score 30 points in a college game until his 36th contest. Has 31 tonight in 2nd Summer League game.

— Rob Anderson (@_robanderson) July 14, 2014

Doug ends his day with 31. Nothing new for Jays fans — just another day at the office for McBucketts.

— Bluejay Banter (@bluejaybanter) July 14, 2014

Efficiency!

McDermott: "I felt much better tonight. The game kind of slowed down for me. I felt real comfortable with my shot, didn't force as much."

A change in summer TV viewing.

Just finished watching Doug on DVR. Wasn't surprised by his performance. Was surprised, though, to DVR a NBA summer league game.

— Creighton Otter (@creightonotter) July 14, 2014

Itching to play Doug in the next NBA video game.

Pre-ordered NBA2K15 today. Now have to wait until October to try it out. Ready for some @chicagobulls and @dougmcd3
