Topic: Jack McClinton

Jack McClinton (born January 19, 1985) is a current college basketball player who is the starting shooting guard for the University of Miami Hurricanes basketball team. He is considered to be a second round prospect in the upcoming 2009 NBA Draft.

McClinton attended South Kent School in Connecticut, where one of his teammates was future NBA player Dorell Wright.

After graduating from high school, McClinton received a few scholarship offers for basketball, and decided to attend Siena College, a small college in New York. He transferred out of Siena as his coach, Rob Lanier was fired at the end of the season. Several schools were interested in McClinton services, including the University of Maryland, but he choose to attend the University of Miami instead as he thought UM will provide more playing time. After sitting out a full year because of NCAA transfer regulations, McClinton was selected to the 2007–08 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season First Team All-ACC, after leading the league in three-point field goals and free throw percentage. For the 2008–09 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season, McClinton joined Tyler Hansbrough as the only players to repeat First-Team All-ACC Honors. He finished as the third leading scorer in the ACC, averaging 19.4 points per game.
