McDonald earns a spot inside our initial Prep Hoops Class of 2029 Top 100 rankings after consistently impressing throughout the spring and summer. The 6’2 Fremd shooting guard projects primarily as a true two but has the versatility to slide to the 3 wing when needed as well. His greatest strength is his ability to score from the perimeter, owning a confident, quick release that allows him to get shots off with little space. McDonald does an excellent job utilizing ball screens, relocating off-ball, and coming off flare actions, making defenses pay whenever he is left open on catch-and-shoot opportunities. He spaces the floor well and possesses legitimate range that extends several feet beyond the three-point line. While his perimeter shooting is his calling card he also flashes the ability to put the ball on the floor and attack closeouts which adds another dimension to his offensive game. A dangerous shot-maker capable of heating up in a hurry, McDonald has established himself as one of the premier pure shooters in the Class of 2029.

Caught Macdonald during team’s last game of weekend on Sunday. A true 2 man at the wing spot with size for next level at this stage of career. A certified sniper. I tallied him for 5 total 3’s in an up tempo style game. Can knock it down in transition off the catch and in stride with hands and feet ready. A few of these were from NBA range while his jumper still looked pure form this distance. Overall a valued producing perimeter threat that shoots it at a high clip.
