LSU Lands its Shooter: Max Mackinnon

That’s a really good pickup actually. Dude went nuclear multiple times this year. I believe he even had a 43 point game

Yep, still need at least one more shooter. McMahon saw Caleb grill and wanted one for himself. 6,6” is good, he appears to be more of a perimeter player. His transfer tape is mostly 3’s and driving for layups, but I don’t think he’s going to be beating SEC guards off the dribble. Maybe he’ll occasionally beat a lazy defender to keep them honest on his shot. I like the pickup as long as McMahon can scheme him open 3’s…

I said this in another thread. Kid can shoot but averaged 14 shots per game and only 3 were from 3 land. Just because he is white doesn’t mean he is spot up

McMahan hires a shooter. Hopefully he can play.

Crafty scorer.

They for sure have to add at least one more true shooter from 3. Last Year's team had barely any shooting.

Mike Hansen 2.0. Hansend dropped 40 on the Tigers in 1990 then decided he wanted to be a Tiger.

Wow, he never misses a shot.

Exactly what is needed. A legit shooter.

The tweet by the OP is marketing him as that. But if you dig a bit deeper I'm not so sure he's the "sniper" everyone seems to think is. He took less than 100 3 point attempts last year. Only 27% of his total FG attempts were from three. He averaged a little less than 2 made 3 pointers a game. Where he was really good was scoring inside, distributing, and getting to the FT line (where he shot 89%)

For comparison, Jordan Sears was a 43% three point shooter the year before he came to LSU, averaging twice as many attempts per game.
