I am so happy for this young man!! An opportunity presented itself and he came through like a champ!!!! Congrats young man!!!

[@jcam68]

I love when the little guys get an opportunity and don’t disappoint! He was great and I was loving every minute of the dunk contest! At 6’2”, his head was near the rim! Incredible!!

[@3rdCoastAlliance]

Facts!! At 6'2" and still getting your head to the rim, that means you're jumping nearly 3'10" off the ground (which is equivalent to 46"). He's among the greatest leapers in the league, doing acrobatic and technically difficult dunks, and STILL yamming it with authority. A lot of other people's dunks get soft when they get more technical, so I'm grateful to witness Mac displaying some much needed ferociousness.

[@ShinigamiUchihax2]

@@3rdCoastAlliance 6’2 is probably what they listed him to give him a better opportunity to play professional ball, they do that to everyone under 6’5. Dude is 6’1 and 1/4 barefoot this makes this even more impressive. His wingspan is 6’2 which is slightly above average for his height, shit I’m 5’9 and my wingspan is longer than his which again that all makes it more impressive. He’s very athletic and explosive. But his height is one of factors he’s not in the nba, sure there’s have been shorter players but they don’t rely solely and explosivenesses and athleticism they play very fundamentally sound basketball their BB IQ is off the charts, they know how to distribute the ball and how to make plays. Mac has built his game on his crazy athleticism and speed that fades away with time and makes you more prone to injuries as well hence why they overlook him. I like the dude a lot he’s legit, seems very humble and he’s a hard worker I hope he can figure out what he needs adjust to play at the next level.

[@bryant475]

@@ShinigamiUchihax2 Thing is, he also has those skills that you mentioned like passing, shooting, etc. Sure he may need to continue to work on them, but he came a long way. I really hope the 76ers give him minutes!

I saw this guy in high school and was impressed but said he would just ride the bench at Georgetown. He ended up transferring and getting some playing time.
