Fresh off receiving his first offer from New Hampshire, Makai was ready to continue his strong June into the Camp of Champs at Presbyterian College. He had 21 points between two games against Mauldin and Keenan on Wednesday, proving he can hang with some of the most talented players in the state. McKnight’s bounciness is something that stands out to you when you watch him, but he’s also a capable shooter, creative finisher around size, and can run offense to set others up.
Makai might not be as pure a shooter as some of the others around him in the rankings, but when it comes to mid-range scoring and finishing, he is one of the best in his class. Coming off a monster 8th Grade Year in North Carolina, McKnight followed it up at his new school with nearly 13 points a game, helping lead them on a deep playoff run.
