78 ■ THE WOLFPACKER "Being a senior and being developed physically and emotionally, he is gaining maturity, and being a senior has created an air of confidence around him," McPhaul said. "He has put in a lot of work." If Shipp is an artist, then McLamb is straight power. He is the grandson of for- mer Campbell basketball and golf coach Jerry Smith, while his uncle Bill Smith played golf at UNC. "Because he is powerful, he'll get plenty of short balls to the green," McPhaul said. "He will be able to attack par fives and score on them. More than anything that is where he is at." Steinlechner of Innsbruck, Austria, has the tools to be a great player one day at NC State. The three freshmen will likely be some of the team leaders next year. "He's powerful and is a really gifted player," McPhaul said of Steinlechner. ■ Sometimes, adding just the right person to a team makes all the difference.
