One of the best pure playmakers and on-ball defenders in Indiana’s Class of 2027, McKee led Indiana Elite Team Tradition to the 17u Prep Hoops Indiana State Tournament title. The 6’1″ point guard is impossible to stay in front of off of the bounce. He is so quick, so athletic, and so explosive with the ball in his hands. Conversely, he is very hard to get by when he is defending. McKee consistently comes up with steals and is a very good rebounding guard on both ends of the floor. So much of his game impacts winning. Look for him to be one of the most sought after small college guards in the class.

He has some truly explosive quickness off of the bounce which he uses to attract the attention of multiple defenders. From there, he is a quick processor and good decision-maker as a passer. McKee is also one of the best, move disruptive backcourt defenders that you will find.

It has been a steady climb throughout the spring and summer for this 5’11” guard out of New Albany High School.

The defensive impact he made instantly changed the game while also providing ball handling on the offensive end of the floor. Then, at the beginning of July, he was a standout at the Adidas Invitational.

Just like his twin brother, Reece first stood out to us a couple of weekends ago at the annual Charlie Hughes Showcase.

Definitely an under-the-radar guard to watch out of New Albany High School in the Class of 2027.

All the focus will always be on Noah Washington Noah Washington 6'5" | SG New Albany | 2028 State #50 Nation IN at New Albany but I think the player that impressed me the most out of them is 2027 guard Reece McKee.

We’ve been aware of the McKee twins down at New Albany High School for awhile now and it was good to have them at our Prep Hoops Indiana Sophomore ID Camp to get a more intimate evaluation. Reece is the right-handed one of the two with a smooth pull-up jump shot that he had working consistently on Sunday. He made a couple of tough pull-up three-point shots and then would slice his way into the paint and finish at the basket. McKee is a talented all-around playmaker with the ball in his hands.
