MM turned Trae Hannibal into a legit SEC point guard. If that ain't development, I don't know what is.

He was basically the same player both seasons IMO. He was always a solid player. Frankly, I think a lot of people on TD were just too dumb to see his ability as a PG, imo. Plus, he played a lot of 2 guard his first year at LSU.

He always had the potential but I found he had way too many turnovers last season and even early this season. Split between losing the handle on the dribble or bad passes. It seemed like he found a groove when Cook caught the stupid bug. His game definitely elevated the last half of the season.

I agree, but let's not forget that McMahon was not playing Trae only as a PG his first season. He spent a lot of time at SG, and I even remember a game where he went in at PF for the rebounding...

Despite this he still put up similar numbers both years. I think Trae has always been a solid player. I do think he improved some coming into his last season, but it's a stretch to say MM TURNED him into a legit SEC PG. My stance on him is that he always could be a PG in the SEC. I won't forget how much ridicule I received for defending Hannibal at the start of this past season. It's hard to develop as a PG when you aren't the one running the offense and getting reps at PG (as we saw in year 1 and in the first half of year 2)
