for the 51st pick? I'm sold
I don't want to get too crazy on McClinton yet, his size bothers me.....
But his numbers for catch and shoot jumpers are insane.
I'm talking 1.7 points per possession, 56.8 FG%, 85%(!) adjusted FG%
His other numbers are pretty good too, but one thing is certain. The kid can shoot.
Speed is the ability to move fast over longer distances. Quickness is the ability to move fast in the space of 2 feet or so.
Never underestimate a man named "Jack."

a new buddy for TP and IanDe Colo.
Um, we weren't going to find anyone that would be in the top 3 bigs in our rotation at picks 51 or 53.
This team is pretty much set now, just need to out and use the MLE on their big, whoever that may be, and call it a summer.
Spurs will try to find somebody in the free agent market.
Does he have anything that won't allow him to play in summer league?
Mavericks took Nivins...probably their best pick of the night. lol
Damn, you get a Udonis Haslem type and a Jannero Robinson type player in one draft.
If they can pan out, damn.....
Anyone believe with these two guards that Finley's days are numbered?
Yeah, French NT.
McClinton can create his own shot!
I've been digging this guy for a while now...just hope he gets rid of those ugly ass orange shoes.
For the 2009 draft there are two French players that are on the minds of NBA scouts: teammates Rodrigue Beaubois and Nando De Colo. Beaubois has been mentioned by NBADraft.net since the 2007 draft, now it's time to introduce you to the player who has made huge strides over the past year: Nando De Colo.
Nando, a late bloomer, who over the last 15 months has become one of the premium European talents for the 2009 draft (currently projected to be drafted early in the second round.)
Over the last 12 months he has been rewarded for his play by being named an All Star and MVP of the top French Pro league and selected as a member of the French National team. With the French National team, he became one of the key players in the qualification rounds of Euro 2009.
Nando led the team in scoring prior to the arrival of Tony Parker, Diawara, and Turiaf (Parker did not participate in exhibition games due to fatigue, while Diawara and Turiaf were free agents and still finalizing their new contracts). Once the NBA veterans joined the team, he was no longer the focal point but remained a starter and has had strong performances such as the 28 points on 9 for 9 shooting he scored against Belgium.
Nando At 6-5, 190 lbs, is a combo guard who is a good shooter and a great passer for his height. In the last 6 months he has climbed the mock draft and will look to improve on that with an excellent season. Antoine Rigedeau, (French 2000 Silver medalist, Former Dallas Mavericks and European Star) had this to say about the young talent:
- "He (Nando)'s a good player (who) can do it all. (He) can drive to the basket or take a pull-up jump shot in traffic. (He) can shoot threes and can play the pick and roll and one on one. He's explosive and has good feet quickness. He's really a good passer so he can score and make the others better. And his first quality is his brain...he's smart and really mature even if he played only one season as a professional."
which is exactly what we need. Now we have Parker, Manu, RJ, and McClinton who can create...
We all know Finley's days are numbered - we are just hoping it's more like 10 and not 320.
Suns with the "Pretzel ."
I'm pretty sure that McClinton can make the 15 man roster. Give him Vaughn's slot and stick him in Austin for a year.
By the way, read somewhere that De Colo blew up Mills in some workouts prior to the draft. Spurs obviously liked what they saw there....
