They've got to work that into the in-house shtick at the AT&T, if he makes the team.
Damn, I hope he makes it..
I hope he hits them a nice clip at close to 50%!
He can save the Spurs bacon, the way Steve Kerr did in the 2003 Western Conference Finals against the Mavs!
Let's go McClinton!

well, he shouldn't have any problem with the range for his 3's.
but his way of shooting seems not really perfect for a little guy with no size.
sometimes in this video, he seems to shoot it in front of him more than above him. less far from his defendor and less high than if he shot it more above his head.
His quick release should help though.
WOW.. I had never seen THOSE youtube highlights of Jack. But man...hopefully this kid is on the damn active roster. He is a straight up gunner and I love it. FEARLESS.
I think that's mostly cause he always looks out of shape. It doesn't really look like he's keeping up with the cardio...but as long as he can go off for 20+ pts out of nowhere, i guess he doesn't have to look like a Greek god.
Pretty damn similar. Same exact height is pretty funny. House is slightly longer and slightly more athletic.
It goes to show how athletic NBA players are that House is considered unathletic and he damn near has a 40" vertical
Holy , that's the first time I've seen those highlights of Jack. He's absolutely sick. His release is super quick, and it looks like he was put on this planet to shoot the rock. I hope he makes this team. They make it seem like he will be on the team.
With Pop, its the other way around.. the kid won't be on the court long if he can't hold his own on defense.
Wow. Wow. JUST WOW.
THIS GUY IS R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.
His range is mid way half court, off the dribble, off a screen, going left, going right, step back left, step back right, taller player with hand almost on the ball, taller player with hand covering his eyes, shorter faster player chasing him around screens, going to the basket because everyone is so afraid of the jumper, defenders overreacting to every fake because of the threat of the jumper FROM ANYWHERE, sets his feet and releases AS FAST AS I'VE SEEN ANYONE DO IT, is fearless and doesn't care a lick about bad shots, just man. This guy is AMAZING.
Can you imagine him shooting spot up threes for the well spaced Spurs, as fast as he shoots them?!? With Duncan in the block? Or running him off screens a la Rip Hamilton?
Sure, they'll post him at the other end, the Spurs would help out which would get the other teams some shots, but if he brought what he did in college...heck, if he brought HALF OF WHAT HE DID IN COLLEGE, it be EASILY WORTH IT.
Also, he set his teammates up PLENTY from the point often times because everyone was so terrified of his jumper, it was easy for him to penetrate and get others involved.
If he shows this to Pop in the Summer League, POP HAD BETTER FIND A WAY TO GET HIM IN THE GAME FROM GAME 1 OF THE SEASON.
This guy could very well be the BEST SHOOTER IN SPURS HISTORY: AND THAT INCLUDES STEVE KERR!!!
Can you imagine how many les the Spurs would have if it were this guy shooting, instead of BRENT BARRY AND BONNER?!?!?!?!?!
I'm not saying he'll be the MVP or anything, but with Duncan and the spacing of the Spurs, this guy could be a KILLER.
Can you imagine Lakers trying to guard him with some 6'7 230 lb person chasing him off screens?!?!?
He would eat them alive.
Unless he forgets how to be confident and shoot the ball, only wants to collect money from the Spurs and go home without playing a single game, Pop had better find a way to GET THIS GUY SOME MINUTES.
Brakes, pump them.
All I'm saying is that if he shows the same things in SL, Pop had better get him some time.
That's it!
Jack "Boogie Man" McClinton.
Wow, he really doesn't need much daylight to get a shot off, does he? Mad range.
Can he hit cold off the bench?
Can he hit in small minutes?
In parts of the country, Heb or Hebe is a racial slur. I know people who have been shocked when they first came to SA and saw the signs.
Wow.
Just saw the highlight vid, and even those it's a highlight vid, I can't remember the last time I saw 9 minutes of ANYONE continuously dropping 3s down each defender's throat. What I like most is that he and Blair have the same mentality when it comes to their jobs...Blair gets rebounds no matter who else is jumping and McClinton shoots no matter who is defending. The only downside is he might be too aggressive and not milk the shot clock enough, so hopefully he can pull off the same percentages with our system.
Regardless, if he plays good defense, Pop might just let him light up the opposing team's bench. BANG BANG!
Yeah. He looks comfortable pulling up fro 28 ft. That's just sick.
If he gets a training camp invite, he'd better make the 15-man roster. With that kind of shooting ability, if we relinquish our rights to him, he'll be scooped up within the month. I say sign the man to a two year minimum contract, throw him in Austin if there's no spot for him in SA, and let's see what he can do with the NBA 3-point line.
As a side note, obviously his shooting range is on display in those highlights, but the thing that impressed me most is his great awareness of where he is on the court. If you watch, any time he's on the move, he shoots a lot either 2 feet in front of the 3-point line, or a few inches behind it. No toes on the line, no heels on the line. That kind of awareness is huge, and can significantly help your efficiency and FG%.
If the Spurs had a dead eye shooting forward, such as James Jones, they could run little stints of McClinton, Mason Jr, Jones, Haislip/Bonner, and Duncan. That would be fun garbage time.Wow.

Was that suppose to be Portranco and 151???
HEB stands for Henry Edward Butt, owner of HEB food stores.
On another note, anyone notice that about 30% of his shots, he has his right foot like a full step in front of him, another 50% of the shots he had his right foot is slightly in front of him. I just thought it was odd he could make these shots with one foot in front. Thats alot of shots made shooting that way...unreal.
Dont you all kind of see him like a Bruce, Ferry style player, jsut waiting for set up shots???Whats good is he cold actually drive a little for a mid range shot and not be married to 3 pointers.
Only negative I could see is I think he will get blocked alot in the NBA. His style of driving and how he shoots layups will hurt him a little.

If he makes the team I'll buy his jersey
yall's? You a red neck?
My son loves Scooby Doo fruit snax.
