MCD will be a joke until the kid who shoots 35 times a game graduates. He’s stifling the development of every other player on offense. He’s in the way.
I agree. He has unbelievable skills but only uses them to drive and shoot. Great players make the players around them play better (and McD has some great talent on the field outside of 9). He seems to make the whole less than the sum of its parts. Coaching most def shares the blame for that, but when the O coach is your older “brother from another mother” it’s unlikely to change. It will be interesting to follow him to see how he integrates into Dukes scheme. Current playing style does not seem to be a good match.
What is hard to understand, is that many people watching McD play see this, I have talked to many former players and some coaches who are feel the same way, what's going on to allow one player to dominate the offense, when he clearly is not making others around him look better the majority of time. The player who is not to be blamed, is just being the player without any guidance from coaches that is constructive. McD is on the way down and we all see it except McD coaches who must be dancing to a different drummer.
