Mac McClung is signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Sixers, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic tweets.
It’s expected that McClung will eventually be waived and then join the Delaware Blue Coats, Philadelphia’s G League team.
McClung was waived earlier this week by the Warriors and became a free agent after clearing waivers.
McClung was an undrafted rookie in 2021. He signed a couple of 10-day hardship contracts with the Bulls in December and January, but only appeared in one NBA game for just three minutes. He also played one game for the Lakers at the end of his rookie season on a two-way deal, but wasn’t extended a qualifying offer.
The 23-year-old guard spent the majority of last season in the G League with the Lakers’ affiliate, South Bay, where he was named NBAGL Rookie of the Year.
I’m not mad at it.
And that’s the most we can say about this move. I agree, I’m very not mad about this.
Yea, I mean worst case he gets picked up by someone else off the G league squad and that’s that. But is there a world where he can develop into a TJ McConnell-type guy? It’s not out of the realm of possiblity.
I don’t see the TJ comparison outside of both guys being short and white. TJ is more of a pesky defender traditional pass first PG with a decent midrange game. Mac is more of a shoot first guy who struggles on D.
To me he is a better shooter but not close to TJ as a defender or playmaker.
I’d rather him than Springer and Joe tbh
Nah
I guess he couldn’t get a better deal, despite all the PGs on the 76ers. Hopefully he’ll get signed by a team out of the g league by the allstar break.
How many PG’s do you think we have? He will likely be on the bluecoats once he clears waivers
