At 6’7, McCullough still has work to do to get stronger for the college game, but had a smooth outside shooting stroke and one can imagine him fitting into a pick-and-pop role.
And while he doesn’t get on the block much in the high school game, he is a standout rebounder due to his length and quickness pursuing the ball.
“I embrace the position of the Stretch 4 because I am able to down down 3-pointers as well as get to the basketball,” McCullough said
He spent the summer playing his AAU ball with the KC Magic. He said he spent that time focused on all aspects of his game but his main focus was ball handling and shooting.
Although he has not yet drawn much college interest, McCullough is likely to find a home at the next level with a couple of years still ahead of him to showcase his skills. This year, he has helped Ray-Pec jump out to xx-xx start.
“We are a solid team,” McCullough said. “Everyone loves to play together and we work together to win games.”
McCullough said he is looking forward to facing Ray-Pec rival Beton on the road this season.
McCullough says his dad has been the biggest influence on his basketball career.
“He always pushes me hard and wants me to continue getting better,” McCullough said. “He shows me my strengths and my weaknesses to help me become better as an athlete.”
A fan of LeBron James, McCullough said he appreciates the Cavalier star’s ability to play multiple positions.
“I enjoy watching Lebron James play basketball because he is able to play all five positions and that is what I’m working towards,” he said.
