Gainey Prioritizes McNeil for NC State

Justin Gainey, NC States new coach, is focusing on retaining key players like sophomore shooting guard Paul McNeil. McNeil, a North Carolina native, had a breakout season with impressive shooting stats. Despite sitting the bench as a freshman, he transformed under the previous staff, setting a school record for threes. Gainey, who has developed sharp guards before, sees McNeils scoring potential as a foundation for a family-like team dynamic. McNeils elite shooting has NBA scouts attention, but another college year could enhance his game. Staying with NC State offers McNeil a chance at home-state glory and helps Gainey build team buy-in before the next season. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
