Expert Analysis
Sam Duren | Prep Hoops Scout
McKinney’s weekend including a 46 point explosion. That wasn’t the game watched back, but he still was a productive scorer. In the game watched back, his jumper wasn’t as on point. But he still impressed with his ability to get to the rim and the line. Good athlete, who’s ability to hit off the bounce helps open his room to get by defenders. Then at the rim, he routinely takes bumps, hangs in the air and still finishes.
Has a real knack as a shot maker, which started to show more and more during Santa Fe’s State Tournament run. Now he’s taken the keys for his new OK U Premier program and is elevating his production.

The 2027 guard was the best player on the floor in last night’s rematch against BA. He led all scorers with 23 points. McKinney was active from all three levels offensively, knocked down big shots for Santa Fe played tremendous defensively. He lived in the paint by taking defenders off the bounce breakaway steals he played really good. What really made McKinney stick out was his activity. He was consistently active throughout the whole game with rebounding, steals, running the floor, always cutting. They even attempted to throw him a backside lob. He played with a great motor the whole game. He’s gonna be a player to watch during the playoffs.

One of the many Wolves already stepping up this year. Had a productive game with a variety of scoring. Punched home a drive in the second quarter. Quality shot making along the perimeter. Enjoyed a big second quarter as his team pulled away. Solid all around scoring guard who is really coming into his own as an athlete and is using that to reach a new level.

McKinney is a jack of all trades, a good two way player to say the least. He’s able to guard 1 through 5 due to his height and long arms being a fast, athletic defender. Good at poking the ball free from players and turning it into a quick lay up at the other end. He can and will put it on the floor to earn his own buckets or create for teammates. When he is off ball he turns into a slasher that likes cutting to the middle to make plays. Those include acrobatic finishes and slipping screens to get action inside. He can also step outside the arc for some corner and wing threes.
