Sam Mackinnon - The missed opportunity

Thanks for posting the clip Adam. That was a great moment in Aussie basketball. Mackinnon was huge in closing out that game and it was great to see how much the win meant to the players and the crowd. Would have been a great game to be at.

Paul has already nailed it with why Mackinnon never cracked the NBA. Nevertheless, he was a great player in the NBL and for the Boomers, especially at the 2006 WC's, where he was incredible for us. If you'd given him Cattalini's shooting stroke and post up moves in his mid-20s he would have been a very good NBA small forward IMO.

Totally agree with Paul's assessment. His kneww issues when he was reaching the height of his game prevented him from making the NBA as he lost his athleticism.
