Most people know Mac McClung because of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where he has been one of the most entertaining competitors in recent memory.

Former Sixers fans know him a little more personally than that. He spent time in Philadelphia and now he is down here putting up 59 points in a G League game and breaking all-time records and the question that nobody seems to want to answer is what exactly has to happen for this man to get a legitimate NBA roster spot.

I mean some of this just has to translate… lol

just look at this tape 😭

how is he not in the NBA… https://t.co/MQDW3SE5sR pic.twitter.com/6S4n6Cn8GB

WATCH: Mac McClung complimented a kid wearing his jersey at Hershey Park, but the kid didn’t realize it was him 

The G League exists as a developmental league. The idea is that you get better down there and eventually someone gives you a real shot. McClung is not a developmental prospect at this point.

Mac McClung is the best player in the history of the league by total points scored and he is doing it while averaging 31.8 a game this season.

At some point the conversation has to shift from whether he can play in the NBA to why organizations keep deciding he cannot. None of this translates to the NBA level? I find that very hard to believe. Make it make sense.
