Don’t forget, in the world of big basketball, kids are often held back grades to gain a competitive advantage against younger kids. That’s how you see reclassifications so often. Not saying that’s the case here but possibly
Regardless, he's 15 at the most as a freshmen, 6'4", solid, with a decent shot and a "reputation for toughness/defense". Seems like a good base to work with...

Eh he definitely has the "baby fat". The stroke looks good and like you said there is a good base if he is willing to put in the work. Didn't look particularly athletic in that clip either so that may cap his ceiling.

Never know, Anthony Davis was even smaller at his age. Maybe a future All-American at the 5 for all we know. Regardless, hope that shot and handle stays with him.

Are we looking at the same video??? I see a 15 year old boy, if he's even that old who has footwork that nobody presently on our team even remotely has!!! That young man is still growing and will be a beast !! Check out his other videos before you start putting a ceiling on him.

If he's getting a HC position at a school worth taking (over what we can offer) after less than 4 years here, then we are going to be in a really, really good spot by that time no matter happens with McKenney.
