McClease, who played both his high school and post-graduate basketball in Connecticut, will be staying close to home next year when he attends Southern Connecticut State University. A power guard that can really fill it up, McClease is a potent scorer both on and off the basketball. He has a good feel for pace and does a nice job of changing speeds to get to his spots, utilizing jab steps and shot fakes to create space. He’s a particularly tough cover in transition where he can score from all three levels and is exceptional as a spot up shooter. Defensively, he can guard up and down a position and is a good rebounder in space. He’s improved as much as any prospect in the region over the last two years and should be able to have a nice four-year career in the Northeast-10.

Previous Rank: 83 (+16)A physical scoring guard, McClease has taken full advantage of his post-grad year and is really starting to show off a well-rounded offensive game. Always a threat as a driver, McClease has started to expand his game to involve more playmaking as well as consistent shot making. He’s shown another level of athleticism and now makes play above the rim on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he can defend either guard position as he has good lateral quickness and the IQ to be in the right spot most of the time. He’s another guy who should be on the radar of scholarship schools and could be a nice late pickup in this recruiting cycle.
