There was much more to Doug not starting last year at AHS. He didn't start the year starting because he wasn't quite ready. Then, coming off the bench he provided and instant offensive spark, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. He is not a role player.
I watched Martin Bros play yesterday and Doug arguably is the best big man on that team, I say best player period. I watched 2 MB games and Dykstra is soft. Doug is better now and has waaay more upside than Jordan Dykstra. Not sure how big Jordan is supposed to be, but he may only be 1 inch taller than McDermott.
