Terps Add Sharpshooter McNair to Bolster 3-Point Attack
21 Apr
Summary
- Maryland basketball lands transfer guard Michael McNair Jr.
- McNair shot 44.4% from three-point range last season.
- McNair brings needed three-point shooting to the Terps.
Maryland men's basketball is set to enhance its shooting prowess with the addition of guard Michael McNair Jr., acquired via the transfer portal from Boston University. McNair brings a highly sought-after skill set, having posted a 44.4% success rate from beyond the arc last season, ranking him fifth nationally among all players. This move directly addresses a critical need for the Terps, whose 31.7% team three-point shooting ranked 303rd in the country during the 2025-26 season.
The departure of multiple key shooters to the transfer portal left a significant void, particularly the scoring punch of Diggy Coit. Head coach Buzz Williams has targeted McNair as a solution, aiming to provide reliable three-point production off the bench. While the transition from the Patriot League to a power conference can be challenging, McNair's individual statistics suggest he possesses the talent to make an immediate impact. The team's lineup now appears complete with his signing.
