Big Stone Gap’s Thomas Jones was the leading rusher for the Chicago Bears when they won the NFC Championship and reached the Super Bowl during the 2006-07 season.
Bristol’s Justin Grimm helped the Chicago Cubs win a World Series in 2016 as a reliable relief pitcher.
Could McClung make his mark in the Windy City?
It seems like it could possibly be a good fit in the longterm.
“McClung is a talented scorer and that’s exactly what the Bulls want him to do – score the ball,” said Alex Goldberg, who writes about the team for the cleverly named blog PippenAintEasy.com. “The Bulls have thin scoring off the bench, a category in which they rank second to last in the NBA. McClung can provide an offensive spark to the Bulls bench. His high energy play-style and efficient shooting, which he displayed in the NBA G League, fits perfectly with the Bulls. Paired along explosive guard Coby White, they’ll kickstart the second unit.”
Todd Fuller’s father, Doug, starred on Haysi’s 1962 VHSL Group II state championship team. Todd Fuller never wore a Tiger uniform but did become a prep star in North Carolina and eventually became an NBA lottery pick in 1996.
He spent five seasons in the league with four teams and saw many players come and go during that time.
