I like this guy. seems like a hard worker and has a good attitude. cant wait to see him on the floor.
awesome. love the coverage.
great video seems like a good guy and seems happy to be here
Damn, his dad is pretty tall. Too bad he didn't get a few more of those inches.
If McClinton is here due to Pop loving his defense, that's a really good sign :tu
He's facing long odds but it'd be nice if he can make the squad and show he's an NBA level player.
why doesnt the blair video work?
Kid is really relaxed, good sense of humor. Hope he sticks, he seems like he'd be a great teammate. Just stick those threes and play some D.
If he had a few more of those inches, we wouldn't have got him at #51. :toastQuote:

McClinton is going to contribute this year, he is lights out, if Pop says he can play D he will get some minutes. He also has a hilarious personality. I will try to find the video of him winning the college three point shoot out, it is funny.
#33. Awesome.
Sharp suit too.
Doesnt R.C. look like Austin Powers Dad?? What was his name Nigel Powers??
haha it payed off all that spy work him and CIA Pop did to get him and Dejuan draft night, i mean how does somebody have no ACLs? :P
:lmao
really hope he shoots lights out for the summer league and makes the team. atleast as backup for tp and hill. seems like he really appreciates the opportunity and will play 100%.
If he were 6'4" or 6'5" he would have been in the top 7-8 picks.Quote:

If you or anyone else could give me a recap/highlights, it'd be much appreciated.:toast
"I think I can earn some minutes playing defense, then when the opportunity comes to get an open shot, knock it down."
Thats a good start right there
I like his attitude and i was pleased to hear that he wanted to focus on defense. Hill+ McClinton can be a good guard combo.
A bit off topic, but... Why isn't RC in Michigan giving Sheed or Dice a blow job?
money...Quote:

I agree with Timvp that he has odds against him to have a successful NBA career, but then when I consider he only needs to be better than Jacque Vaughn to make a contribution on the Spurs, I feel like his chances go way up.
R.C. always looks like he just got back from a luau.
I reckon R.C wears Tim Duncan's shirts.
I like this Kid.. I think he has a VERY good shot of sticking to this team... If he is successful that makes Mason expendable...
I really don't think he'll have a hard time making the team. Spurs need some cheap options and seconders rounders are the best you'll get and theres still a lot of space on the roster. I don't see why he wouldn't
or woke up on someone's floor. Seriously, someone get this man a $5 comb. As for McClinton, he's adorable!Quote:

Why did that Argentina fan ask the same question again?
I was thrilled to see the Spurs use their first 2 draft picks on domestic talent. I say that simply from a "signability" standpoint and the Spurs track record the past 3 or 4 years with international talent.
George Felton was a good hire.
Sounds like the coaching staff has mentioned the Ginobili pairing to him.Quote:
Name: Henry
Location: San Antonio
Question: I know you are small for your position, but do you think you can guard bigger regular-sized shooting guards?
Jack McClinton: I'm not a shooting guard. I'm a guard and with Ginobili coming in sometimes to run the point he can guard the two and I can guard the point guard. So you never know really until you get out here on the court to see how things are going to pan out.
:tuQuote:
Name: Riley Morgan
Location: San Antonio
Question: Hey Jack. What is your favorite tattoo, and why?
Jack McClinton: Probably the one on my arm. It is Proverbs 14:23. It means all hard work brings a profit, but mere talk only leads to poverty.
Just after the strength of the last two drafts?Quote:

Refresh, it'll eventually work. Seems to have less of an issue in Firefox.Quote:

Woohoo, he answered my question! :downspin:Quote:

Question: Hey Jack, welcome to the Spurs! My question is: The Spurs' backcourt is already one of the best in the league. What unique skills will you add to the amazing group that's already in place?
Jack McClinton: Being a knock-down shooter, I can shoot the ball - but also on defense I'll look to bring the intensity on the defensive end.
I agree. No need to defend your statement solid. We all know the international train has left the station.:hatQuote:
