So they hoping for white chocolate 2
They usually can’t play defense and are gimmicks for highlights but not longevity in building championship teams.. something for white fans to cheer

PG height without the PG skills. Streaky shooter who's game is about scoring and not a ton else. If they luck up maybe he can replace some of what Alex Caruso brought them
G League bound

Whiteness? Yes.
Defense? Fuck No.
Bron will make him serviceable in spots.. And he has athleticism to a fan favorite in blow out games.. But he is an undersized combo guard who rightfully went undrafted.
He pretty nice wit it, for a tiny guy. He looked decent in summer league as a true pg, iono if it was enough to warn a spot tho. But he’s a natural scorer and needs to stick to that
Offense is streaky, as he tends to be a volume shooter, but he has a knack for making clutch offensive plays (although he may be having a poor shooting game overall). If you put a good defender on him, you can lock him down. He's a bit faster than you might think, meaning you can't take him completely for granted, but he's still a step slow on defense. He is fairly athletic, as you can see by his above average jumping ability. His athleticism allows him to make an occasional play on defense, and slashing moves on offense. One thing he does have is heart. He fears no one, and he plays hard all the time. He's toned down the need to make a flashy play. But you won't hear the typical things about him that you hear about a white player other than he hustles (i.e. his basketball IQ could be better in terms of decision making). He will try hard to improve, though. He needs more time to learn the PG position, in terms of ball handling and distribution, as he has had a shoot first mentality for most of his high school and college years.

G League? This dude didn't even get that far.
McClung is much better than Tamir Goodman.

Well they didn't have G League when the "Jewish Jordan" was playing
Same hype though
I think they did, but it was called either the CBA or the D-League.
Either way, he only lasted a year at Towson, then he left for Israel to join the army. He got exposed on the collegiate level.
NBA didn't own the CBA. The NBA eventually made it's own league called the D-League to compete, which was later named the G-League.
As you know teams can sign players to that league.
FYI - I was referring to the HYPE surrounding the player, not their achievements
LAKESHOW
You niggas say anything up here
The hype was incredible for both...but at least McClung came closer to being worth the hype. Much closer.
Don't think McClung has anywhere near the hype Jewish Jordan had. ESPN did multiple stories on him and even covered his points in some of his H.S. games. All news papers did stories in him. Was straight ridiculous
You're probably right. McClung did have those high school YouTube highlights, but he probably didn't get the hype that Goodman did.
I remember him. A Jewish guy who looked like Howdy-Doody who could hold his own on a Baltimore playground? He was a very interesting story. Too bad he flamed out. He was supposed to go to Maryland, but they wouldn't bend to his condition that he not play on his Sabbath (Friday nights and Saturday afternoons). It would have been interesting to see him in a Maryland uniform.
McClung was a mixtape sensation since high school
That was because of the association with And 1 and streetball. McClung had multiple high school mixtapes that have millions of views. He was hyped.So?
So was The Professor & Hot Sauce
So?

Then that would counter you argument, genius
So?

He's more talented than either of them, but enough to stick in the League? That remains to be seen.
It's obvious that he has put in some work since the season ended. Let's see if he's improved his point guard skills before talking about him making a team.
Really? I said JJ was MORE popular, which he was.
ESPN Covered his HS game point totals......ESPN...in HIGH SCHOOL
Show me where they did it for this dude.
I don't give a shit about some "mixtape" clown shit.... You sit down and actually watch that shit?
Hahahahaha....mixtape legend........FOH
I know what it was. All I'm saying is Jewish Jordan's HIGH SCHOOL GAMES was covered on ESPN
on the regular. To me.....he was more popular and had more of a buzz.
I watch ESPN, and so do other hundreds of million of ADULTS across the U.S.
Can't say the same about some "mixtape" shit. Maybe it's an age thing...don't know
I don't think that the Jewish kid was more popular but there was also a change in the dynamics around high school sports with YouTube. Right now Mikey Williams is more recognized than DJ Wagner, who's a higher ranked player in his class & son of a former NBA player, due to mixtapes on YouTube. Also because of that there are more players who are shown on ESPN as opposed to just 1 or 2 like in the early 2000's.
As a guy in his 40's I don't believe it to be an age thing.
Well let's agree to disagree and that goes for you too @Complex
I'm not arguing about 2 cacs. I said what I said and that's it.
I never even heard of Mcclung till recently.
FYI - I'm in my 50's I for damn sure don't watch "mixtape" shit.....
I watch real games
McClung had games on ESPN when he was in high school too.
I'm not sure who JJ is but McClung been hyped since we saw him dunking on folks on Youtube.
Last yr he was on the lakers this yr on the warriors… like I said last yr.. usually gimmicks
Showing your age and ignorance
Guess you missed were I told you I DON'T wanna debate over two stupid cacs.
showing your illiteracy.
FYI - I forgot more than you'll ever know
