Sheldon McClellan

Guard – 6’5″

Sheldon McClellan has been waiting a long time to take a shot at getting into the NBA. McClellan just finished his super senior season with Miami after being forced to sit out a year after he transferred from Texas to Miami.

McClellan’s per game scoring has grown from year to year, ultimately resulting in a senior year where he averaged 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.9 minutes per game.

After being a decent three-point shooter for his first three NCAA seasons McClellan took a huge stride forward in 2015-16, making 40.6 percent of his 3.9 threes attempted per game. McClellan’s sudden spike in efficiency has to have teams wondering if he just peaked at the right time, or if he’s really a talented shooter they can add to their roster.

McClellan is more than just a shooter, as evidenced by some of his highlights in the video above. He has serious bounce, and he can get up and play above the rim. McClellan shot 56.8 percent on two-point attempts, proving he’s more than a one-trick pony.

His age and lack of renown surely are working against him, but McClellan might be able to get a spot with a team by killing workouts like the one in Milwaukee on Friday. He doesn’t seem to have any lack of talent on the offensive end.
