Wow! I had not heard that one! I've heard he plays like a guard and is tough. At that height already, he could be one bad___ player by college.
What do you think of PMac?

If PMac learns how to finish at the rim with his left hand he is going to be very very good. Other than that I like his game.
there's really nothing not to like about his game. Contributing on a good team as a freshman. Has things you can't teach, like height and lateral movement. Can shoot, dribble and pass. He just needs more experience really. He will be a good player. How good, don't know.
That kid has a high basketball IQ! Combine that with his athleticism and mobility through the lane and I see great things for his future. We’ll be glad to have him going forward!
Am I misremembering, or has Pat ever driven into the lane from the left side to shoot that funny sort of floating sideways jump shot? In my memory, he always goes right to left and than has to contort himself to shoot it right handed. Right or wrong?
He and Nunge have the ability to put the ball on the deck and attack the basket..Good things happen. They draw attention ,draw a foul or can kick out to an open shooter. With their length pretty hard to block the shot.
Whatever he's doing he doesn't seem to make very many of them. Decent dunker, thats about it. He'll get better on his all around game I'm sure.
And his shooting form is the best of the three.
Of course it is,.. Our best quarterback is always on the bench, or sometimes even still in high school waiting to be recruited...
I think PM shoots a bit too much and many of those shots are low percentage shots. He'll figure it out.
Or he DUNKS the crap out of the ball. He already has some highlight-reel dunks this year, and he's only going to get better.
Not sure why you wrote that statement.... Regardless, Jack improving on the shooting form of his older brothers would not take much at all. CMac and PMac have the most awkward shooting forms on the team. Along with some low shooting percentages to got with it.
I could see some brake pumping needed. He will be a very good player for Iowa but George Gervin, Bobby Jones and 20+? That is a pretty high and unrealistic expectation. And the Iceman was way smoother on the court, don't think that cat ever broke a sweat.
PMac is best when he is out and running on the break, very dangerous in this role. He gets to the basket pretty well in the half court due to his length (he uses it well) but he takes some shots where he really contorts his body and I am not sure that is a great recipe for him (or any player) in the long run.
I wrote that because Hawkeye fans are always dissatisfied with what they have,.. We have a tendency to long for that currently unavailable shiny object on the horizon...
I meant he only shoots jump shots when open, so it doesn't matter how low his release is.
The overwhelming majority of 3s in all basketball are shot without being defended.
A quick high release really only comes into play for a few guys that are good enough shooters to warrant taking contested jump shots.
He's mostly playing with athleticism right now,.. He needs to demonstrate talent for the game.
You're right. Me saying he has a little George Gervin in him is OBVIOUSLY me saying he is better than Gervin. Yep, that's it!
When P. McCaffery does two long steps from behind the three point line to finish with a finger roll (sometimes it's not even layup range) or dunk.
I can get crazier & say he has a little Durant & Antetokounmpo in him as well...so obviously P. McCaffery is on pace to be a 3x MVP winner in the Association.
Which, of course, has nothing to do with my post. I've seen video of Jack and was merely commenting on his shooting form as compared to that of his brothers'
If you haven't seen Jack shoot, better not to comment.
8th Grader Jack McCaffery is NEXT UP! Iowa Coaches Son Has A STRAP!
I hear you, but he’s had a few games where his shot per minute are just too high, especially considering the offensive talent starting in front of him.
I see the resemblance now. How could I have been so blind.With the flip ...
