I agree. He has unbelievable skills but only uses them to drive and shoot. Great players make the players around them play better (and McD has some great talent on the field outside of 9). He seems to make the whole less than the sum of its parts. Coaching most def shares the blame for that, but when the O coach is your older “brother from another mother” it’s unlikely to change. It will be interesting to follow him to see how he integrates into Dukes scheme. Current playing style does not seem to be a good match.

If the one person offense is a MCD thing, wouldn't the AD realize how ineffective it is and counsel the coaches involved? Can't be good for a Program's recruiting efforts or are prospective parents just too notIntelligent to notice? That uncontrolled one v one stuff translates into riding the bench at Duke. They have the ultimate team offense in collegiate lacrosse. That won't happen with this player. This is a management not player related issue: based on the posts above, the MCD athletic director is asleep at the wheel but that isn't uncommon in the private school community.

Duke will have buyers remorse. I thought this before he even signed. We saw this same behavior in his sophomore year. Just more exposed now & going forward.
Plays this way in club too w/ terrible shot percentage, many of which result in opportunities going the other way. Albany style is a good fit to his current style of play.

Sorry you are so jealous of this kid. It's a wonder Coach Danowski doesn't hire you as a recruiting consultant, what with all your expertise. Also sorry that you are so unhappy with your own kid's play (lack of playing time?) that you feel need to come on here and rip on other people's kids.

Another Jedi here. It’s a forum, so we talk mainly about what happens between the lines-that is what has occurred here. If MM wants to build him up on social media that’s fine. More exposure on the internet does not equal top player with leadership qualities.
