The guy has won two dunk contests in a row. I think if GM's thought he was a real NBA player, even a bench warmer, he'd be on a roster. There are a hundreds guys not in the NBA who can dunk a basketball very impressively and put up solid stats in a non-NBA league. There are not enough roster spots available for all of them.
Teams are going to hold on to their own drafted players for as long as possible, even if they are destined to fail. UDFA's have a harder time sticking around.

Two of these guys have already been cut and in the case of Kira Lewis, he's on the verge of being out of the league. It also helps that three of the four were first round picks, so teams probably feel there is something to salvage.

That is my point, though, McClung could well get a spot vacated by players of this sort.

What's the point here? Thanasis is also not an NBA talent.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

The players getting cut were mistakes. Why would you fill that spot with someone who doesn’t project to do well and at best, may be marginally better than the mistake. There has to be some need that Mac fills or projects to fill. Sadly, he doesn’t have nba level talent.
