McClinton worked hard for 3.99 years on his three point shooting, and it paid off. He should project well to be a stretch 3 in the Association now.
Seriously, though, of course it will help JC's game if he can step out and consistently hit long 2's and 3's. I agree with the folks here who said we just didn't need him for outside shooting last year, and he was our only inside threat. And he was incredible on the inside. And doubles on him helped open up the outside for our shooters. You can tell JC has a decent shot. His foul shooting looked very solid all year, so he clearly can step out. And now with bball being his full time job, I expect it will improve dramatically, as it just seemed to be developing last year. And scouts clearly saw it, too, and is one big reason why there is so much interest in him. He can score at will inside, hit his foul shots, and it seems clear he will be able to add long 2's and 3's now that he will be playing with more help on the interior. He's just got a lot of upside. Add that he is a good kid, too.
