Defensive-minded guard with playmaking upside and scoring bursts
McKinney is a useful **two-way guard** who brings steady minutes, solid rebounding for his position, and disruptive defense, with 2022-23 numbers showing 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game at UTEP.[1][4] His profile is more about *impact plays* than pure shooting volume: he can pressure the ball, compete physically, and has shown he can carry scoring loads in stretches, but his outside shot has been a weakness (16% from three in 2022-23). [1] That makes him a fit for teams needing toughness, ball pressure, and energy rather than a high-usage lead scorer.[1]
