Why do you say Taylor seemed to be ahead of McCray?
Yeah. McCray was ahead of Taylor.

Well, Taylor seemed to be ahead of McCray on the depth chart most of this season, and Forbes implied that was because of McCray's defensive shortcomings.
I'm a big fan of McCray, and I wanted him to be getting 6th man-level minutes early this season, but I wouldn't blame folks for "sleeping" on him when the guy who's seen him play the most put him in games for all of 57 minutes this year. Seems fair to say he needs to take a big step forward somewhere.

Your general comment about "McCray's defensive shortcomings" is way off base. Go back and check Coach Forbes' numerous statements about McCray and you will see that the one positive he always made about McCray was that he could develop into an elite ACC defender.
Please cite any specific instances where there have been criticisms of McCray's defensive shortcomings and I will stand corrected.
Yep. There were times this year I thought it would be a good message to our team, and possibly an effective move to bring Robby Mac in and defends whoever was going off on us that game. Who cares if he picks up 3 fouls in 8 minutes...Just Patrick Davidson that dudes ass.
Seems odd for most to be (correctly) invested/interested in our existing frosh group to gain experience and progress now, yet gave up so completely on C Whitt. After all he was the one awarded playing time as a result of the practices.
Wake Forest: “They showed so much love there. I love the atmosphere, and I love coach (Steve) Forbes. This year, they had a huge turnaround; it was just crazy and shows how good of a coach he is. I have so much respect for coach Forbes and his staff.”
Splitting hairs but early on McCray and Taylor both had essentially identical garbage minutes, then after LSU Taylor got into 3 games without McCray seeing the floor. Did seem like he was ahead of him for a minute.

I think McCray had Covid or mono when this happened?
