McNuckles showed how valuable a bigger player can be when he isn’t limited to one area of the floor. He can use his physical presence around the basket while also showing enough skill to move the ball and make plays away from the paint. That combination allows him to create matchup problems and gives coaches flexibility in how they use him.

He was a key part of his team’s Saturday morning 10:10 a.m. victory, using his versatility to make an impact in multiple areas. He finished the game with eight points, nine rebounds, and three assists in the win.
