It is great to see players taking advantage of opportunities that are ahead of them, and after playing in just 14 games, averaging 4.1mpg and 1.9ppg at Wake Forest, Robert McCray has been helping lead the charge at Jacksonville this season.
Averaging nearly 18ppg while shooting around 50 percent from the floor and 35 percent from three, McCray is reminding everyone why he was such an intriguing target back in South Carolina not long ago, showcasing just how explosive he can be on the court. He has always been known for his athleticism, his high-flying dunks, and his ability to attack off the bounce and he is now showcasing it all down in Florida. But one can see that he has been adding more to his game, knocking down shots from multiple levels and really being a consistent threat all season long.
What Was Said Back with Phenom Hoops:
“McCray showed patience in the offense, a smooth feel for the game, good body control, and really excelled when he dissected the defense and penetrated the lane. With his body and ability to attack off the bounce, McCray showed flashes of why he is being recruited by many.”
“He’s a long, wiry, incredibly explosive point guard prospect with IQ, size, and terrific pace with the ball in his hands. McCray is sharp, quick, and able to apply relentless pressure as a penetrating threat, where he’ll frequently play above the rim. He’s a crafty ball-handler and distributor with the ability to regularly mix it up on offense while absolutely hounding his assignment on the other end. McCray displays strong patience in the half-court and flashes of pure dominance in transition. Coach Washington on McCray: ‘Robert has great size and athleticism. He is a surefire Division I kid. I love the way he plays on both ends of the floor. I would like to see him become more vocal on the court.”
