“Great shooter. Made a big impact as a freshman, playing about 8 minutes a game on varsity. Led our JV in scoring at 16 PPG. Made two huge 2nd half 3 pointers in the State Championship game.“

Southpaw sophomore shooting guard Lincoln McInerny, standing at 6’3″, is poised for a breakout season. Last year, he came off the bench as a freshman primarily as a 3-point shooter, but over the offseason, he has expanded his game in every facet. McInerny impressed consistently this spring, summer, and fall at various Prep Hoops events, showcasing his athleticism, skill, and versatility. A dynamic playmaker with the ability to create for himself and others, he looks ready to take on a bigger offensive role and make a significant impact for his team this season.

Mcinerney turned heads at the Sophomore ID Camp as one of the most sensational players in attendance, blending elite scoring ability with athleticism that made him a matchup nightmare. The southpaw guard impressed with his ability to attack both sides of the floor, using quick first steps, sharp spins, and smart reads to create buckets for himself and open looks for teammates.

Offensively, Lincoln is a prolific shooter, hitting deep threes well beyond college range, nailing mid-range jumpers, and finishing through contact at the rim. He also demonstrated a high basketball IQ, delivering precise swing passes and kickouts in transition, helping his teammates capitalize on defensive rotations. His speed in the open court and smooth handling made him a constant threat on the break, while his savvy on-ball awareness—picking off passes and tipping balls away—added value on defense.

What truly set him apart was the combination of skill, explosiveness, and decision-making. Mcinerney not only put points on the board but also controlled the tempo, creating for others and showing off sprinter-like speed in full-court situations. With his mix of scoring, passing, and athleticism, he established himself as one of the most exciting and complete performers at the camp—a true scoring machine and top shooter to watch in the Class of 2028.

Lincoln is one of the elite shooters in the class and state. The lefty can create and score from all levels. He’s skilled at running the baseline finding scoring opportunities.
