In September 2009, McAdoo committed to the University of North Carolina.[2] After Travis and David Wear transferred from UNC, McAdoo considered graduating a year early so he could join the Tar Heels in 2010, but he ultimately decided to stay at Norfolk Christian through his senior year.[3]

Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft, McAdoo joined the Golden State Warriors for the 2014 NBA Summer League.[8] On September 2, 2014, he signed with the Warriors.[9] However, he was later waived by the Warriors on October 24, 2014.[10] On November 3, 2014, he was acquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors as an affiliate player.[11]

On January 19, 2015, McAdoo signed a 10-day contract with the Golden State Warriors.[12] He made his NBA debut later that night as he came off the bench to record 11 points and 5 rebounds in the 122-79 win over the Denver Nuggets.[13] He was not retained by Golden State following the expiration of his contract on January 29,[14] and he returned to Santa Cruz the following day.[15] On February 2, he returned to Golden State, signing a second 10-day contract with the team.[16] On February 4, he was named to the Futures All-Star team for the 2015 NBA D-League All-Star Game.[17] Following the expiration of his second 10-day contract, he returned to Santa Cruz where he played two games before being called up again by Golden State on February 19, signing with the team for the rest of the 2014–15 season.[18] During his time with Golden State, he's had multiple assignments with Santa Cruz[19] earning mentions to the All-Rookie NBA D-League first team and All-NBA D-League second team.[20] On April 26, 2015, he won the D-League championship with Santa Cruz.[21] To add to his D-League title, he was part of Golden State's championship win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals, becoming one of very few players to win both D-League and NBA championships in the same season.

McAdoo retained his spot on Golden State's roster for the 2015–16 season, but missed a large portion of his second season due to a sprained toe on his left foot.[22] On March 21, 2016, he made his first career NBA start, recording 7 points and 6 rebounds in 17½ minutes of action in a 109–104 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.[23] The Warriors won an NBA record 73 games to eclipse the 72 wins set by the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls.

International career

McAdoo averaged 16.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks to help Team USA win the gold medal at the 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship played in Argentina. He was subsequently named the 2009 USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year.[1] In 2010, he won another gold medal after averaging 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks at the 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship in Germany.[24]

Personal

McAdoo is an Evangelical Christian. He has spoken about his faith saying, "... I just want people to realize I don’t play basketball for myself. No matter what adversities I face, how bad a season goes, or even how good a season goes, at the end of the day I’m playing for a bigger reason, and that’s to glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."[25]

McAdoo's parents, Ronnie and Janet, both played basketball at Old Dominion in the late 1970s and the early 80s, and went on to play professionally in Europe, while his older sister Kelsey also played basketball at the University of North Carolina.[26]

McAdoo's father is the second cousin of Hall of Fame basketball player Bob McAdoo, who played at North Carolina and in the NBA.[3] McAdoo said he calls Bob "uncle" although he doesn't know what their exact relationship is, and that "My dad's great-great-great grandfather and [Bob's] great-grandfather are like brothers."[26]

On April 2, 2014, he married Lauren Elizabeth Adkins, a UNC volleyball player.[27]
