Gerry was super clutch but unfortunately he really wasn't a good shooter if you look at his numbers. Doesn't bring much else either. I'd pass.
Sorry, but obviously you didn't see Gerry play much, as numbers don'talways tell everything. McNamara took a lot of crazy/ "bail out"/difficult type shots because nobody else had the balls to take them. When G-Mac has the time and his confidence is right, he can light it up better than most. And saying he doesn't bring anything else to the table is just flat wrong. He can pass, he gets steals and he plays his ass off.
This comes via Wikopedia: His career statistics rank among the greats in Syracuse's school history. He finished fourth in points scored (2099), first in minutes played (4781), second in steals (258), third in assists (648), first in three-point shots made (400) and attempted (1131), and first in career free-throw percentage (89.1%).
In 63 career Big East games McNamara set conference records for three-pointers made (183) and career free-throw percentage (91.7%). His 400 career three-pointers rank sixth all-time in NCAA history.
You don't get those numbers by not "bringing much else" to the table. I don't know if he can play in this league or not but if the Matt Carrol's and Jason Kipono's of the world can, I don't see why Gerry can't.
