He Made More of His Shots Last Year Than Anyone. Now Devontae Cacok Wants You to Know His Name
Twice in conversation, Cacok mentions making a name for himself. McGrath wishes more people knew who he was, but both acknowledge that it’s tough for a mid-major player to get widespread attention, especially without a deep tournament run. But McGrath also knows this: in his 22 years with both Kansas and North Carolina, no player—Brice Johnson, Tyler Hansbrough, Sean May or anyone else—has ever received a plaque from the NCAA indicating that they led the country in a statistical category.
