Few players at the event offered the inside-out versatility McKenney brought. He’s a capable perimeter shooter, but he’s just as comfortable going to work with his back to the basket, and that puts defenses in constant mismatch trouble. He makes sharp reads to cutters as a passer, and he brings real toughness, hitting the floor for loose balls and staying attached to scorers on the other end.

Trey McKinney was making some impressive plays out there with his combination of skill, athleticism, and instincts. He makes swift and efficient moves when looking to score, and he displays good touch when he gets a clean look at the basket. On defense, he utilizes his athleticism and wingspan to cover ground in a hurry, disrupt opposing players, and make his presence felt. He’s also a reliable rebounder and a tough competitor.

McKinney’s blend of size, strength and athleticism overwhelmed some opponents at the 16u level which led to him being an effective slasher and finisher in transition and half-court offense. The 6-foot-6 wing thrived in transition settings where he pushed the break or filled the lane and finished at the rim with authority. McKinney flashed off-catch three-point shooting ability while shooting his best percentage from behind-the-arc among all the EYBL sessions.

Terry “Trey” McKinney III finished within the top five of the entire camp in assists for the event (5.3 APG) and his team made it to the championship game with him as the leading point-forward. In a camp full of isolations, he stood out to me by the decisiveness of all the reads he made in pick & roll as the ball handler. Defensively, he was everywhere guarding all positions and ranked sixth in the camp at 2 steals per game. The Millennium SF showcased his insane athletic ability and his improved outside shot-making as well.
