I remember hearing a few people on this board say the kid would fade into oblivion once he got to Georgetown. He’s doing pretty well for himself. Several big games on a decent team.

Splice all you want, I’m sure he’s a good kid but the team, the league is hot garbage. Neither are SEC caliber
He wanted to go to UT but didn't have an offer. His sister played soccer at Tennessee.
I can remember a day when there's no way the SEC could utter such a phrase. It's nice to see the SEC on an uptick.
The kid is a true freshmen and he can play.
I don’t get the hate the kid has garnered, and he’s not a bad player at all.
He had 24 against #15 Marquette and had a season high of 38 as a true freshmen. I’m sure he’d have never made it at a lower tier SEC or ACC school. lol
Ewing said he’s the fastest player on the team and he has a huge vertical? Not athletic? Patrick Sparks?
I think youre thinking of someone else. His speed and athleticism are elite. Im not sure what his 40 yard dash speed is but he's ridiculously quick and has no less than a 40 inch vertical. The questions about his game were everything BUT his athleticism. Flashy dunks for a 6'1 high flyer are cool on a high school highlight flick, but does it warrant a power 5 scholarship. Looks like hes proving any naysayers wrong in a similar beat to the drumb Zion Williamsom is playing. You can teach a freak athlete to play sound basketball much easier than you can teach a below the rim player to be more athletic/explosive. Good for him.
Side note, there's something about him that makes him look like hes only 14 or 15 out there. I know freshmen look young, because they are, but he looks like he had to have his parents drive him to the game.
He’s a tough player. Not a very good outside shooter, but he can take most college defenders to the hole. He’s very explosive, his first step is quick as a cat and he will dunk all over 7 footers. Lol. Now he’s a freshman and makes a few freshman mistakes, but he’s a better than average freshman in college and if he stays 4 years, he will be a superstar at Georgetown!
He wouldn’t start here and would be lucky to get two three minutes a game, but he’d be a hell of a practice player for our kids to guard and be guarded by everyday. He a very smart kid and you can tell he truly loves the game of basketball. He will keep working hard and is a great pickup for them.
Saying all that, he is very fun to watch when he’s hitting his jump shot because you can’t stay in front of him. He has like a 45 inch vertical, seems like maybe even 47 or something crazy like that!! He can really get off the floor and dunks with attitude. Haha. Anyway he could play here as a junior or senior I think because he’s such a good athlete and could be a pretty good role player.

I’m not sure what his vertical is measured at but you can tell by his YouTube videos that the kid can get up.
He is to athletic his dunks are crazy for a guy his size.
Yeah, I follow him because he played just up the road from me. Saw him live a bunch over the years. I wondered about his shooting early but last I looked he’s at 18.8 ppg 50% fg & 41% 3PT in the 4 conference games he’s played. He’s a had a great stretch. Very streaky shooter.
I'm surprised Tennessee never offered he can play as well as jump.....
Not trying to be argumentative, but Mcclung can jump through the roof. That's why he was so popular coming out of high school.
You have to be thinking of someone else. See below. This kid can jump outta the gym. He's only like 6'2.
I don’t ever remember Patrick sparks throwing down a reverse windmill???? Patrick Sparks wasn’t really special. You just proved you haven’t seen him play, “not very athletic “? Lol yeah ok. And Patrick sparks was.
e is talented
You evidently have never played basketball. The only garbage on here is you.
Evidently you have never watched the kid play or you may be just that stupid.
Patrick Sparks could not carry this kids jock.
Easy now. Like McClung, people make Sparks out to be a bum for no reason. When McClung puts on 20 lbs of fat and can still shut down a player as good as Chris Lofton in Knoxville, then we’ll talk about who can carry whose jock.
No more insightful than someone saying he’s a poor man’s Patrick Sparks.

He's of interest because contrary to popular opinion on this board, guys like this COULD play at UK.
Who is this guy and why does this fanbase have a weird obsession with him both in the "he sucks" and "he's the best" camps?
You can’t read. Patty Sparks locked him up in Knoxville in ‘06.
Kid from near KY/VA/TN line. He blew up his senior year with mixtape dunks and broke the scoring record for the state of VA. He was talked about with Zion’s dunks and a lot of people hated on him because of his recruiting ranking. Said he’d never make it in college at Georgetown. He’s started all season, doing really well as a freshman and this is a basketball board. We talk about all kinds of players on here from other teams.
Are you freaking stupid? He’s of if the most athletic guys In The damn country.
I’m honestly surprised anyone here actually watches Georgetown basketball. They play a more exciting style now, but my god years of them grinding out 48-46 wins or scores in the 50’s have killed any desire to watch them for me. I think I subconsciously turn them away from years of mental abuse watching their games.
Right, he could def play at UK. Admittedly, I've only see him play at GTown once but he buried a pull up three on someone (with high elevation) and I remember thinking, who is this guy?...then the magic of Google happened.
He was a diamond in the rough. That happens, see Morant. I'm seeing people predicting this kid is a 4 yr player and overseas, etc...makes no sense- that could be the case or he may average 25 a game next yr and be in the NBA.
Point being, he definitely has talent and some serious athleticism that cannot be taught.
Haha, so true I was channel surfing on the treadmill and saw them- only reason why.
