Had a great season last year. Will continue that elevation.A flat out scorer of the ball. Really good feel for the game.He has displayed deep range and the ability to score from different spots on the floor. He has good vision and awareness able to draw defenders and create for others.

The sneaky veteran presence on Scanlan this season, McLaren enters year three with the confidence that this is his time. A crafty and speedy guard off the dribble, he can still set the table for his teammates, but has embraced his ability to put up points in bunches as well. The thought is that Scanlan takes a leap into top 4 of NY/Bronx this Winter, and it will be McLaren leading the way.

McLaren is built like Russell Westbrook and stuffs the stat sheet the same way. He’s a young physical guard who creates contact, he can score from all three levels and consistently makes others around him better. His game continues to evolve, he loves to compete, he has passion for the game and is still an ascending prospect. This rising Junior has a chance to help push Scanlan to the next level season and see if they can build on their deep run from last season. 

Akeem was a nice surprise last season and he is building on that with his showing at this camp. He is a bucket getter. Creates scoring opportunities every time he has the ball. He possesses great vision awareness and a feel for the game. Very good setting up teammates but at the same time he can take over games. Deep range from beyond the arc.

Akeem averaged 12.3 ppg. He has displayed really deep range. Excellent court vision. Great feel for the game. He creates for himself or others. (Pictured)

He’s a physical guard who uses his lower body strength to bully his way into advantages and play through contact. Once he gets downhill, he can finish confidently with either hand. He’s got real craft in his bag hesitations, stop and go bursts, and change of pace moves that constantly put defenders on their heels.

Adjusting to a new role off the bench, McLaren showed no signs of discomfort, still playing significant minutes and contributing a mature double-figure effort to Scanlan’s upset win. The sophomore lead guard would score 13 points on just seven shots, playing efficiently with his decisionmaking and shot selection. He showed added comfort as a shooter from the perimeter with a repeatable, compact stroke and was also able to navigate into the paint off the dribble to make plays for his teammates. McLaren also stood out with his toughness defending at the point of attack. He’s on the smaller side and not the most explosive athlete but his skill level and steely confidence should see him attract D1 recruitment moving forward.

Returning with a year of varsity experience to help lead a mostly older group, McLaren stepped up even more with the absence of senior star Javan Webb Javan Webb 6'6" | SF Monsignor Scanlan | 2026 State NY due to injury. The sophomore guard got better as the game went on, finishing with 20 points including 16 in the second half and 11 in the fourth quarter. He was aggressive getting to spots off the bounce, showing polished mechanics in the midrange to create space and convert over lengthier defenders. McLaren also showed capable range out to 3 as well as the ability to get into gaps for easy buckets when slotted off the ball. While a willing passer, he does have to continue to improve his shot selection and ball security, but the future nonetheless appears bright for the young guard as he steps into an increased spotlight this winter.
