Expert Analysis
Simmie Colson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
McKinnon is on the verge of exploding because of that triple whammy, “long and athletic” stands above “the magic number” and bringing more intensity on both ends yet she’s also showing signs of being able to take over games, offensively and defensively see evaluations here

McKinnon is a back-to-the-basket player who is constantly working, showing a strong understanding of when to score and when to kick the ball out to open shooters. Drawing significant attention and contact on the block, when she gets to the free throw line she is able to convert. Defensively, she uses her length to jump passing lanes and reach around opponents for timely steals.

McKinnon has so much potential, and at times her upside is scary because she does things instinctively, like going AFTA the ball off the rim coming from out of nowhere, but she also did the same thing, came from out of nowhere to block shots.

McKinnon has plenty of upside, she’s “long and athletic” which is the base and she stands above “the magic number” and those two things alone will have her on the short list of countless next-level coaches. How she progresses on the court will determine which level of the next level but her shot block and rebounding have already gotten better, and so has her finishing around the basket
