Stanford’s steady, pass-first guard with real floor-control value
In the 2000-01 season, Michael McDonald averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game for Stanford, giving the Cardinal a true table-setter who could organize an offense and move the ball without forcing the issue. He also finished his Stanford career among the program’s leaders in assists, a strong clue that his value went beyond scoring bursts. If you want a guard who brings poise, distribution and reliable decision-making, he fits; if you need a high-usage shot creator, he’s less that guy and more the glue.
