Jaivion “Just Shoot” McLoughlin
It was a tough first half for Sumner but they started to connect from long-range in the second half and McLoughlin was a big part of that turnaround, connecting on five threes in the half. He didn’t take many shots at all in the first half, so I think “Just Shoot” is a perfect description of his game against Tahoma. He hit on a few threes off the dribble, another on the catch, and was able to bail out the Spartans with a long three late in the shot clock at one point.

I really liked what I saw from McLoughlin last season, but Sumner had one of the better 2022 classes and McLoughlin maybe didn’t see as many minutes as his talents suggested. However, this season he should see plenty of opportunity to showcase his abilities. He’s a pretty shifty player with the ball in his hands and shows all the tools to incorporate a nice pull up to his game as well. Most often last season, he seemed to primarily be used as a floor spacer and secondary ballhandler, but he has the skill to score in a multitude of ways and should put up a healthy PPG this season. He had great effort defensively as well and could be an emerging two-way player in the South Puget Sound League.
