Shane McLaughlin was Bryant’s ironman floor general, elite at creating offense
In the 2015-16 season, Shane McLaughlin was the engine for Bryant, starting all 31 games as a senior captain and leading the Northeast Conference in assists per game at 5.3 while averaging 7.7 points and 3.4 rebounds. His real value was control: he logged huge minutes, pushed pace, and consistently set teammates up, including a 14-assist game and a career 436 assists, third-most in Bryant history. He looks like a coach’s favorite kind of guard—tough, reliable, and relentlessly composed.
