Don’t think people understand how big of a star McClung would be if he came...

I don't think you're hyping him enough. Try harder next time.

Indy Coug

Touché!

Cougar86

5/21/20 10:08am

Because the Naismith Award would like tiny next to his other awards.

Archaea

5/21/20 10:11am

I would see him as a Charles Abouo type talent

scottpete

5/21/20 10:02am

Oh geez. Mac's ability to attack the rim is FAR better than anyone we had last

Athletic Carlino dude

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 10:12am

Too bad he couldn't have played with TJ the assist master.

Cougarclaw

5/21/20 10:02am

not as good as Jimmer

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 10:03am

Totally different player. I think it's hard to say what level of impact

5thNephi

5/21/20 10:15am

He’s a much more athletic Carlino

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 10:16am

I agree. As much as Matt frustrated the hades outa me, if it weren't for his

5thNephi

5/21/20 10:22am

That’s what I see

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 10:23am

I think McClung would turn Baxter into a dunking highlight film

Doogal McCougar

5/21/20 10:46am

That'd be nice. Man, you know TJ would've done the same last season.

5thNephi

5/21/20 10:49am

If healthy Baxter would’ve had two dunks a game

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 11:10am

I'm not interested in him unless he can do a layup when it matters.

conetah

5/21/20 10:08am

If Pope wants him, then I'm good with that. Patrick Ewing Jr is not much of a

Archaea

5/21/20 10:13am

He scored a lot of points on a ton of shots

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 10:15am

39% from the field 30% from 3 for his career

Charles Darwin

5/21/20 10:13am

I'll be happy if he is as good as Toolson or either of the Haws brothers.

califcougar

5/21/20 10:16am

Yes but he’s way flashier

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 11:11am

But Jimmer taught him a valuable lesson. Playing in a weak conference can make

DoseOfReality

5/21/20 11:16am

Jimmer would’ve dominated wherever dude

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 11:22am

As an upperclassman, yes. But straight outa HS I doubt he woulda got off the

5thNephi

5/21/20 11:27am

That’s the point

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 11:34am

Yes, & more. He wouldn't have been given the role at those places.

5thNephi

5/21/20 11:45am

Kawhi too. 😉

5thNephi

5/21/20 11:26am

And lots of money

puntersarepeople

5/21/20 11:35am

Yeah, playing against Kawhi Leonard really harmed him

califcougar

5/21/20 11:32am

It's all about being a lottery pick in the draft.

Doogal McCougar

5/21/20 12:26pm

Or like Steph Curry, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Millsap etc. Or

Only having a fistful of examples to support your point essentially proves mine.

DoseOfReality

Only Curry and Lillard were prepared for the NBA. Did you start watching the

So, Larry Bird and Hakeem weren't ready for the NBA? They were all-stars as

He’s right that I only started watching basketball recently 😉

puntersarepeople

5/22/20 9:52am

Travis Hansen seemed pretty skilled and could also dunk.

ochobeeguy

5/21/20 11:24am

He ain’t Jimmer...you’re way underestimating Fredette’s skills

zerome4sooners

5/21/20 2:57pm

100 percent agree, he’s done nothing yet. I’m talking about the hype that will

Cougar86

5/21/20 3:02pm

This is true...watching some of his highlights from high school. Very electric.

zerome4sooners

5/22/20 12:12pm

.323 from 3. Only 8/36 (.222) in conference play. Jimmer would make 8 in a game.

flyzag

5/21/20 3:19pm

So his 3-ball is comparable to a Jimmer dunk, then, is what you're saying?

5thNephi

5/22/20 1:07pm

Pope would probably try to maximize Jimmers passing

puntersarepeople

5/22/20 1:12pm

For sure he'd build around Jimmer, I think--but yeah, I agree
