His main strength is his scoring ability; he has been a scorer throughout his entire career. He can create his own shots and score in the paint, from mid-range and also from beyond the three-point line. Another quality we really value is his ability to create for his teammates. Now the challenge is to transfer all this potential to European basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McClung arrives after a season split between the Windy City Bulls and the Chicago Bulls, in which he was named G League MVP for the second time, averaging 31.8 points, 7.9 assists, 51% from the field, 38% from three-point range and 78% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"ca\">\u2705\ud83d\udca3 En <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/McclungMac?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@McclungMac<\/a> \u00e9s giron\u00ed.
