Is it next year yet, cause I think it could be fun to watch these kids.

Here’s Jared McCain almost lapping the field in the McDonald’s three-point shooting contest.

Wow. Methinks this year's mediocre 3 pt shooting will see a big improvement. What a nice stroke.

I’ve got a sneaky suspicion we’ll be less anxious about shooting next year.

Yeah, McCain will look real nice playing off the drives by Proctor and Foster.

Sean Stewart won the Dunk Contest!

[DevilHorse]

Duke's Sean Stewart won the McDonald's dunk contest tonight, giving Duke a double in the premier skills contests with Jared McCain winning the 3 point contest.

Frankly, if anything was demonstrated by the dunk contest is to at the very least change the format.
I thought the kids got tired by the 3rd round.
The first dunk by Matas Buzelis was fantastic, novel, smooth, and well executed:

But the kid (and 3 of the 4 finalists) couldn't make a dunk at all in the last round.
Stewart won by attrition.
Missing all dunks gets you no lower than a 7 (the basketball participation trophy).

Jared McCain however was a revelation:

Won by a ton (27 of 34 possible points).
Now, we'll see how he does with hands in his face but at the very least he's a promising guy to plant in the corner. Hopefully he plays defense.

McCain will be more than just a spot up shooter. He can create, as well.
