He is a 6'2" PG who is known for dunking. Unfortunately that is the least important trait for his position. Ball handling, passing, outside shot and defense are probably not NBA level. His natural position probably is SG but he is way too short to play that position in the NBA.
@@readandrap283 3 out of the last 4 guards that won MVP in the G league did not play significant time in the NBA , most played or are playing overseas. Only 1 guard Trevlin Queen is on a roster. 2 way contract with Orlando after being waived by 3 teams in last 3 years.
Just look at Terry Rozier of the Miami heat and former university of Louisville stand out. He is generously listed as 6'1 and he is a successful NBA 2 guard. Joe Dumars of the Detroit Pistons was 6'3. Anyways, I think this guy should be given a better chance at at least landing a spot on an NBA roster. Sure, he is getting his minutes in the developmental league, but I think that he would be better off practicing daily with NBA level players.
NBA used him and made bank. He single handily saved the dunk contest. McClungs accolades are unquestionable. Just wish a team would give him a real shot.
It's so simple: Let him play and he'll be a superstar. That would've been a no-brainer in the Bird-Magic-Jordan Era, but today, weirdly odd prejudices dominate the NBA concerning what a point guard can do.
He lacks speed and quickness for the NBA and ball handling to be a PG and his outside shot is slow and inconsistent. There is a lot more to basketball than dunking.
And you know what's really sad? Jerry West, the epitome of the NBA historically, the very symbol of the league icon, is from Appalachia as well. Why doesn't Jerry West use his influence to help this very nice, humble young man from the mountains become a true NBA star?
Maybe last year. He changed his game up some this year. Less 3-point (39%) but higher PPG because he's attacking. There are teams that want an attacking PG because of how it opens up shooters outside, gets the other team in foul trouble, etc. I get it that teams like the Warriors want a pass-first, like Kerr said, but there are many who Mac would be perfect to play for. I hope the G-League MVP gets him more serious looks by teams this off season.
This video should have thousands of views. Mac has it all. Let me list what I have seen, of his many skills. The list: SPEED, can split two, three, to the basket. I have to say again, speed as he blows past the taller and skilled players. His up and under shots leave players looking down at here feet in disbelief. Dunk's,... enough to said about this ability. His left and right SKY-HOOKS have not been seen used by many players. Seven footers and more are at his control. ASSISTS, look at the numbers, REBOUNDS, again look at the numbers. THREE point plays and drawing fouls, that often count for four points. His JUMP height of 47" matches the best in the game and better than most. So much more to say,... helped win a state High School Championship, helped win the G- league championship. Holds the highest G scoring of 44 point for Osceola Magic. Lastly, though the Magic have a well staffed team he has proven his worth and MUST be given a full NBA contract.
I’ve made several comments regarding Mac and the NBA. There’s no way you can vary his stats and not be signed. I put my money on MAC. I also stand firm the NBA is a racist organization.
Lol yeah ok. He is not good enough for the NBA. Get over it. Payton Pritchard is better than him. No race issue with Pritchard. Luka ir Jokic who jeeps winning MVP. Bruh Mac is not a NBA player.
I love all the total nonsense about the NBA being racist. I guess the OP doesn't know that all the owners minus MJ are white. Most of the general managers are white. So what black figure has the power to stifle MM's growth?🤔
@@lordoffaiyum9727 Payton Pritchard is not better than Mac. Pritchard has averaged 22 minutes a game in 76 games this season and his stats are only 8.6 PPG, 3.2 Rebounds and 3.1 assists. He is very mediocre. In the very little time Mac has gotten any minutes in the NBA he has averaged 12.5 PPG, 5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 45% FG. If Mac played 76 games and averaged 22 minutes per game, like Pritchard, his stats would be way better than Pritchard's. The NBA only wants to sign mediocre white Americans. They know Mac would embarrass people they overpay and who are people's "favs". Facts are facts. I almost forgot...G-League MVP and leading scorer this year. 51/40/86. Zero reason why Mac isn't on a team and Pritchard is making multi-millions over him. Name one...I'll wait. Also, Luka and Jokic are from overseas. That makes a difference when they pick "white people".
And to think if Orlando brought him in to take Fultz's spot, they would win a championship, I refuse to watch the nba now because they are prejudice of him.
Let's not be naive here. Maybe the best (certainly most interesting to watch) players in the NBA are Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić. Either ignored or hated on by most black commentators. Why did prominent commentator call for getting rid of the Euro players? Why is Caitlin Clark attacked by former WNBA players? Where is Jeremy Lin? Why has the drumbeat of "overrated" already starting around Cooper Flagg, maybe the best two way talent in a generation? Would you care to predict whether an NBA team could beat the best Euro teams? The NBA is about providing a certain "balance" or over balance if you will. It is not about putting the best players on the floor. Imagine for fun the combination of Jokić and McClung - literally undefendable.
Stop with your great white hope pipe dreams. There's no hate on Luka and the Joker. You don't have to lie to support your weak argument. 99% of the people in power in the NBA from the owners to the GM's are white. If MM was good enough, he wouldn't be in the G League. You can't go by highlights alone and say, "Wow...he's awesome." I can show you just my highlights too, including high flying dunks, and I played against NBA players in my youth. Doesn't mean I belong in the NBA either.
EUROLEAGUE WOULD WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THE NBA. Their fundamentals are superior to NBA teams. They have better coaches and they don't discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity.
It's sad a not signed d league player has to join and win dunk contest 2 times in a row. He still has no team. if u win dunk contest u should win a contract as well..
McClung is better than Cole Anthony, Black and every other guard on the Orlando team. Stop with the "Stiff Competition." You're just perpetuating the BS.
If he were black, I'm sure he'd be signed. It's not that the modern NBA hates whites; it's that the modern NBA can't conceive of someone of his height and race being good enough to compete with taller, lengthier opponents. I've seen people recite statistics on his arm length as if that proves anything. He's proven he can play at an NBA level (to put it mildly). Now the question: Can the NBA overcome its prejudices?

He is league ready and has only been given 10 day contacts. He needs a team that will utilize him and he hasn't found it yet sadly. I think Miami would be a great fit for him where they can utilize his athletic ability and playmaking.
The curse of the high leapers. Because they can jump so high and do fantastic dunks and amaze people, they rarely build the rest of their game. Jordan was the exception. Speed, quickness, and skills are more important than jumping. How do you think John Stockton made the hall of fame?
He has not been snubbed by anyone. He has played for several different nba teams, whether in the nba itself or for their G League teams. He is an amazing dunker and very exciting to watch, but he has had plenty of opportunity to break through for a full time nba contract. He just isn’t good enough at that level.
When he actually got more playing time than a couple of minutes he almost had a triple double (20 9 9) so I have to disagree. He belongs in the NBA, right now.
People keep saying "he's had plenty of opportunities", but has he?? Playing one game for 3 minutes isn't an "opportunity". Or another game with 6 minutes. He's only had ONE game with actual good minutes and he had a 20/9/9 statline with 5 forced turnovers. Anyone else would have been signed after that. He's been blackballed, snubbed, whatever you wanna call it and that's a fact. Name anyone else who wouldn't have been signed after a game like that? Or the stats he is putting up in the G-League? You can't. I.T. wasn't even doing as good as Mac in the G-League and it only took him 3 games to get called up. Hate it or love it, facts are that Mac has played better than I.T. in the G-League and better than every other person that has gotten a call up. Everyone who keeps up with Mac and people in the G-League knows this.
@@Jive33 Wow, take a wild guess. Smfh Also, it's crazy that you can't answer my question about "who wouldn't be signed if they played as well as Mac did in the one game he got good minutes". Because I'm right. Glad you can recognize that.
Tell me you've never seen him play, without telling me you've never seen him play. Lol. Check the man's stats and actually watch him play. He's better than 80% of guards in the NBA today.
I try to tune in to every game he plays!! He is a crowd pleaser! Love his game!!!🏀🏀🏀
Definitely one to keep watching!
Its beyond ridiculous that he is not in the nba
Absolutely, I wonder if it’s just the system he has been in and that he doesn’t fit with the teams he has tried to play on.
