We have a particular love for the people of Southwest Virginia so when we saw that a phenom was coming out of Gate City (population 2,034), it caught our attention immediately.
We weren’t expecting Mac McClung.
He’s listed at 6-2 but looks shorter. He looks like a fairly typical kid from Southwest Virginia but his vertical (47”) may be higher than Zion Williamson’s.
If you haven’t seen him yet here’s some video. He’s more than just a leaper though - he can shoot with range and passes well.
We’re really looking forward to seeing what he can do at Georgetown this fall.
