Yeah that's stilll how I feel. I saw some more vid on him, and he's more physical than I thought, but I still don't see that killer instinct in him. Like I said earlier, I do see it in Weatherspoon, Spikes, and Johnson though.
I have to wonder though, do you mean he looked identical to Crowder as in he lacks the killer instinct or was Crowder actually a smart player in college and somewhere along the line got dropped on his head and has no idea what he's doing now?
With that said, I still really have no complaints with McClain at 12, because I know he'll be a really good player wherever he goes. I just wouldn't be jumping off my couch, running around in excitement.
As in all of the above with Crowder. Crowder is "very" intelligent. Sparano went out of his way to say that Crowder at MLB is like having another 'coach' out there, he's that smart. Don't let Crowder's very funny sense of humor fool you, the guy knows his stuff. But yeah, I also agree with the if we select McClain at #12 I wouldn't be mad either, but not all that excited either... on that jumping off the couch and running around part. I've done that myself, that's why I find it so funny...
