Scouting Report: Bryan McKinney

PCTI2 Totals:
PPG-6.3
RPG-4.7
APG-1.0

Pro's:

Rifleman with a lightning quick release. Relentless when crashing the offensive glass. Motor never stops running. When hot, can do serious damage to the opposition. Ultra-confident offensively. Best in the business when it comes to hedging screens. Forces turnover's by excessively jumping passing lanes. Will not shy away from a charge under any circumstances. Typically in superior condition and never gets tired. Runs the floor for hit aheads with the best of them and wears down the defense. Cross Fit.

Con's:

Has not been in typical Bryan McKinney shape the last two PCTI's. Some would question whether his head was in it or if he was more focused on the bar exam. Has been less aggressive offensively, taking a more passive role and deferring to lesser shooters. Typically known as a low IQ basketball player. Willing post feeder but otherwise leads something to be desired when it comes to passing. Has not been as effective crashing the offensive glass due to letting himself go in PCTI2.

Overall:

Despite his best efforts to stay quiet and keep a low profile in PCTI, McKinney's decision to join the Cross Fit ranks has made him the most scrutinized, talked about player in the PCTI3 offseason. When motivated and in shape, the sky is the limit as to what he can do. Will he come out firing, crashing the glass relentlessly, and wearing out whoever is guarding him, or will he come out just trying to fit in the flow of the game? When you have the natural tools McKinney posseses, fitting in does not do him justice. Time will tell, but expect to hear the name Bryan McKinney, Cross Fit, and question marks a lot the next four months leading up to the big weekend.
