A Confident McRae will be DANGEROUS!

24/7 article I posted it in the Maymon good news thread.

Thank you, was bugging me.

Something I never thought McRae lacked was confidence. Most certainly his sophomore year he was never shy about jacking up as many Ill advised shots as possible.

Thankfully he has turned a corner since then. Still, I don't think it's about confidence.

I guess there's different words to describe it, but as Chris touched on, when he would start bad it would continue. If he wasn't on in the first 5 minutes he would typically let if hurt other areas of his game and continue for multiple games. Last year if his shot wasn't falling he would try and get to the line, and still bring it defensively.

jacking it up doesn't necessarily mean the shooter is confident. Could be arrogant, cocky, delusional, selfish, pressure to perform, pressure to score, forcing the issue,...

hard to be arrogant, cocky or selfish without having confidence in yourself.

sure. I guess I would just call it maturity.

I thought McRae looked confident at times, especially when he carried the team last year, but there have been where he played bad early and lost confidence that affected his game or made him press a little.
