Jack Paul McClinton (born January 19, 1985) is an American former professional basketball player. McClinton played shooting guard for the University of Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team.

He was selected in the second round by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2009 NBA draft.[1] After being waived by the Spurs, he played for Aliağa Petkim (Turkey), Gilboa Galil (Israel), BC Budivelnyk (Ukraine), and the Reno Bighorns (D-League).

High school career

McClinton attended South Kent School in Connecticut for one season, where one of his teammates was future NBA player Dorell Wright, following a four-year career at Calvert Hall College High School in Baltimore.

College career

After graduating from high school, McClinton received a few scholarship offers for basketball, and decided to attend Siena College, a small college in New York. He transferred out of Siena as his coach, Rob Lanier, was fired at the end of the season.[2] Several schools were interested in McClinton's services, including the University of Maryland, College Park, but he chose to attend the University of Miami instead as he thought UM would provide more playing time.[2] After sitting out a full year because of NCAA transfer regulations, McClinton was selected to the 2007–08 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season First Team All-ACC, after leading the league in three-point field goals and free throw percentage.[3] For the 2008–09 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season, McClinton joined Tyler Hansbrough as the only players to repeat First-Team All-ACC Honors. He finished as the third leading scorer in the ACC, averaging 19.4 points per game.[4]

Jack McClinton was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.
