BS! Those players grew up in the neighborhood they played in. Don't give me that bs. Today's talent is good. You have 3 public school teams at #1 in the State of Maryland. That's dominant! You can pluck all the talent away from BCPS's all you want too, but will ALWAYS be talent here. I know, I grew up here from adolescence. Did you? I know what our kids do. I had a son who played and been dealing with all of this forever! I didn't say a thing about Charles Smith did I? beenaround Stop making dumb excuses! Baltimore is a hotbed for talent and will always be! Agreed, there is still talent in Bmore. And usually they are those tough, gritty, hard nosed players. The true measure of a player is not the league he plays in but that heart that is inside his chest. THEY don't know this because they don't live there or never lived there, so they'll never understand.

No matter where you stand on Mac, I'm not sure how AAU games almost a year old became the gold standard for evaluating him. I get the "well it's better competition" part and that's true but it's also a year ago. The difference between last year and this year for him is a pretty big jump. He averaged 29 a game last year. I think this year his worst game was 26. And he didn't just break a record, he broke everyone's records (Iverson, Tanner, Reddick) and won the state title. AAU is a data point sure, and if he were overwhelmed by the competition and not just OK, it would be a red flag. But that's not the case and he's clearly a better player now. How much so we'll see. Clowns make up all kind of ish. So what Mac does on the court last summer doesn't matter? Really? Just think if you had no video? You wouldn'tknow hardly anything. This comment is another idiotic one. That doesn't make any sense to say just because a video is almost a year old has nothing to do with anything. You tell on yourself that you nothing about the game of basketball if you think like this. This is a part of Mac's development. I evaluated Mac on his point guard play for your information. Some were more interested in Mac's highlight videos. Of course the difference from last season is a jump for Mac because he developed during the summer. Isn't that how it goes players develop in the off season. WOW. Clowns will be clowns. Stop contradicting yourself. You didn't even attempt to do your own research then want to criticize someone else's research they've don't. So inconsiderate and disrespectful. Who are some of these idiots?

I've been waiting for someone to say that, Giga. I've watched his full games from the AAU open periods - now his regular season culminating in the state title game. He looks like a different player - and I think it's also a byproduct of being a different athlete. He's bigger and stronger - some of that is accentuated by the level of comp and athletes he goes against - so maybe it's a bit of a trick on the eyes but it has stuck out to me. From all accounts he takes his training seriously as an athlete as much as he does a basketball player and it shows. He's taken a strength and pushed it further. You mean someone making a foolish comment as Giga did? In his AAU games he played more conservative on the ball and on the wing some. This is what I was looking for his point guard play. This is why Ewing said Mac was a complete player. Did you not read? Mac was on a different team. He developed more. Aren't players suppose to develop during the off season? Of course he's bigger and stronger he's been working out! Mac has always taking his training seriously as a basketball players who's a terrific athlete.

Part of it may be what was needed from him. Gate City needed him to be ‘the man.’ Team Loaded needed him to be a complimentary piece. Being adaptable might be another strength. Hopefully, we can get the player who can impose himself on the game while getting everyone else involved. I suspect Mac will get his points....even if they are just from the free throw line after fouls. If he can be challenged by the coaches to get 7+ assists per game, that will make both himself and the team great. He could really get MD and JG some easy looks if that was a priority for him. EXACTLY. They're lost in the sauce. Giga and @allinxis sad and make up excuses.

Honestly, Glide, please stop calling people fools, clowns, or idiots when they disagree with you or give a different opinion than yours. It's exhausting to read, and it obscures some good insights that you have to offer.

Agreed. Please stop insulting anyone that doesn't agree with you. If you need to, take a break in the off-season, because the volume of complaints about your style of response will become an issue.

It's exhausting to read, and it obscures some good insights that you have to offer. I was literally talking about their comments. stop taking things so personal on a social media sight. you could've inboxed me with this. If it's exhausting to read why read it? There's a few people here that will come to my defense. Some will not because they're too busy assuming or writing disrespectful comments but no one says a thing when this happens only when I respond. I get it. Nothing will ever obscure the insights that I have to offer bro. Inbox me out of respect. Pls stop assuming and just ask.

We're saying HE'S GOTTEN BETTER. I did as well. But I think you made is seem like his AAU videos were so long ago they didn't matter. I do apologize for calling you a clown and idiot. Like someone else said on his AAU Mac didn't have to be the man, so he took it upon himself to get better at running the point guard position, being more a of a leader which made him a better leader for his team this season (mentally). He always had the gift of being talented. When he played for his high school team he was the man and he knew what he had to do. I think it's every players thing to get better during the off seasons.

Who comment did I disrespect? Also, was I referring to a comment you made or someone else's? At least I have to common courtesy to ask and not assume. Now, can we get some of the Baltimore city kids to come to Gtown?

That is NOT about bball, it's about insulting people who disagree with you on a topic, which happens to be bball. You will never understand that and will instead chose to continue insulting good Hoya fans. Hello block button, goodbye glide

No, you're "assuming" what I wrong instead of having the respect to "ask." What I was saying was some people that are not from Baltimore don't understand what are kids and what they can do as far as hoops. Now, what you're saying is something totally wrong and irrelevant because you always get in your feelings about certain comments I make. I can't help that it's who you may be. This was about basketball. I could care a less who disagree with me about a topic because I feel pretty darn comfortable with the knowledge I have about the game of basketball and life. Thanks for the long, and over due block seaweed. The feelings here are enormous. Well expected. It's to ask than to assume. LOL! This thread is about Mac, not me.

"It is a data point" as in it does matter. Specifically stated it's part of the assessment, just not the only part. Really have no idea what caused you to go off glide. I agree with you that the assessment shouldn't stop at AAU and that its just a part of the process of development.

So, this would explain why he is not in the ESPN Top 100. If he had committed to Duke, he'd be a 4-star and ESPN would have him ranked in the Top 50. Yup
