McDonald's All-Americans' comparisons
Posted Mar 30, 2011
James McAdoo and James Worthy: McAdoo draws the comparison to "Big Game James " not only because he's a Tar Heel, but because of his length, athletic ability and the way he runs the floor like a gazelle. Plus, McAdoo can finish above the rim, especially along the baseline, against late help-side defenders. He can also hit the mid-range jumper with time, go by other power forwards off the dribble from short distances with ease, rebound well, block shots and be at the rim in transition in the blink of an eye.
