Related Topics: Gary Bell

Recently improved play has helped stabilize the backcourt after early struggles

Grade: B

The well-traveled guard came to Gonzaga last year following his dismissal from Vanderbilt after 12 games (where he transferred after one year at Tulsa), and played a minor role in the second half of the season.

Coming into this year, McClellan was tasked with stepping into the role previously filled by Gary Bell Jr.--to provide some scoring punch and serve as the team's best wing defender. In his one half-season of play with the Zags last year, McClellan never scored more than seven points.
