| Hello Mitch McGary |
The #2 overall player in the class of 2012, Mitch McGary, joins Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas giving Michigan three top 100 players and a top 10 ranked class for 2012.
This has been covered extensively on the internet so I'm not going to get into much about scouting McGary, you can find that all over the place.
The main point here is: Michigan basketball is relevant again. I'm hoping for the Michigan-MSU basketball game at the end of the season to decide the Big Ten champion and who gets a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament and for the first time in about 15 years that hope isn't absurd, it's fully within the realm of the possible.
(Sorry my coverage of this is a little lame and late. I was off leading my football team to another victory, bringing us to 7-2 on the season, Go Rebs!)
Also, Jerry. Since you love basketball and may or may not read this blog, here's my scouting report for ya. Mitch McGary's athleticism compares a lot to Darko. He's a big, athletic lefty who can really move. He'll lead the break a lot after snaring a rebound. His game, however, does not resemble Darko. He's more like Kevin Love in that he's a relentless worker and rebounder. He'll probably be a double-double guy the moment he steps on the floor in Ann Arbor, scoring buckets on slop put backs and things and being a force on the glass with his hustle and motor.
ReplyDeleteSo are we looking at Tyler Hansboro 2.0 here? That would probably be a good thing but I hate(d) (is he still around?) Tyler Hansboro.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a good comparison although McGary seems to be getting huge hype as an NBA prospect so his ceiling might actually be a bit higher overall as an athlete.
