I think you are oversimplifying things quite a bit here. I wouldn't make either of those assumptions about either coach. I think they both value the same thing, the best basketball player possible, and no great player is simply a or shooter or an athlete, they have to be both. McDermott wants athletes that play defense, rebound, AND can shoot. Taylor and W.Johnson are both amazing athletes, I am sure there were better pure shooters out there. I would never say that McDermott values shooting OVER athleticism, thats saying he puts scoring over defense and rebounding, which is obviously wrong.
