Expert Analysis
Victor Scott | Prep Hoops Scout
McAlister works the perimeter with purpose, sliding into open pockets and setting his feet quickly as the ball swings his direction. He reads defenders well, sliding just far enough to create daylight before firing with a smooth release. Whether off the dribble or catch, the shot comes out fast, and his movement off the ball keeps defenses constantly adjusting.

3 Takeaways:
-Versatility on the wing
-Shot creation
-Instincts
McAlister’s guard-forward game allows him to operate as a secondary ball-handler and shooter. His length and anticipation could lead to more deflections and transition buckets. Look for him to take more on-ball reps this season, especially in late-clock situations.

Read EvaluationVictor Scott | Prep Hoops Scout
McAlister is a scorer and has shown that consistently over the past few weekends. He knocked down shots with volume and can get hot after seeing a couple of easy ones fall. He played well on defense on the outside, staying with opposing guards with effort to create stops or send them to their weak hand.
