uhh, yeah I guess so. LD was a great dunker and really good defender who was completely average or below at every other aspect of basketball (although he had leadership intangibles that were also valuable.) . Mcclung seems to shoot a lot more than LD and at a much lower percentage, have
worse rebounding numbers than LD and has an assist to turnover ratio that is not so great for a guard. I have no idea about his defense as I barely watched WFU the past two years , much less Georgetown. So...would I take McClung? Hell yeah, he would give us a lot of positive momentum going forward with his name recognition, but I just speculate that he will have some holes in his game in between some sportscenter top 10 dunks. Most transfers from P6 schools do have some holes in their game or else they wouldn't be transfers ( generalization of course).
Beachbum makes an excellent point though about how a good coach can get guys to buy in, so if McClung commits to WFU, I'll be excited. The guy is an exciting player.
Thanks for your thoughts. I agree with what you say. McClung would be a great addition. A limited numbers of flaws is not a disqualifier. LD and Scooter Banks were 2 of my favorite Deacs. Going really old school, Paul Silas and Len Elmore were also guys I enjoyed watching. My own rec league game back in the day was pretty much limited to defense and rebounding so I'm not here to throw stones.
