Scoot Henderson, who most peg as a top-two pick for this year’s draft, leads the G League player pool consisting of Sidy Cissoko, Mojave King, Kenneth Lofton Jr., Leonard Miller, Scotty Pippen Jr., and McClung. All of the above players will be put into a pool, where they’ll get mixed up and picked through a draft system.

Thus far, McClung has averaged 18.9 points and 5.1 assists per game while shooting a career-high 57.7 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three.
