South Bay Lakers guard Mac McClung has long been a pure bucket. He is averaging over 21 points in the G League, averaged about 15 points per game over his years at Georgetown and Texas Tech, and broke Allen Iverson’s single-season Virginia high school scoring record.
McClung, who was rated three-stars, finished his high school career in 2018 by setting a Virginia High School League all-time record of 2,801 points. It didn’t take long for that number to be surpassed.
Tyler Nickel, a North Carolina signee out of East Rockingham High School (Elkton, Va.), broke that mark on Tuesday. His 37-point game put him at 2,804 points over his career, according to WHSV.
