The 6’2″ guard has a terrific first step off the bounce and is a tremendously creative finisher around the rim. He’s done a nice job of adjusting to a higher level of speed and physicality in the NEPSAC this winter and seemingly continues to evolve as a decision maker with the ball in his hands. He does a really nice job of rebounding on the defensive end of the floor, attacks the rim relentlessly in transition, and knocks down threes in catch and shoot situations at a high clip.

McClure is developing into one of my favorite players in the entire 2028 class. Even though the 6-foot-3 guard didn’t shoot the ball that well from three last night, he showcased a number of incredibly impressive takes to the rim, most notably a few one-handed lefty finishes with long contests from TIlton’s big men. He has phenomenal touch with both hands, and he has a super lethal first-step when you play too close to him on the perimeter. Though he isn’t the strongest right now, he’s still able to succeed as a driver, which is an amazing sign for his future. He’s a division 1 prospect, and I can’t wait to see how he plays with the Middlesex Magic this spring.

For a freshman, it’s quite impressive how fundamentally sound he looks. Phillips Exeter is the perfect environment for McClure, who should shine there next season and beyond.
