Decent playmaker

Solid athlete

Summary:
Miles McBride is an agile, skilled sharpshooting combo guard that can make shots from all over the floor. He is having a very good sophomore season, and he is a prolific scorer that can put up points in a hurry, and he scored 12 of his 21 points in the last 4 minutes of his team’s January 4th win over Oklahoma State.
On the other hand, he can be a bit streaky with his jump shot and he may need to show teams that he can effectively run the point, but he is a very good shooter whose ability to score the basketball could make him a solid pick in the second round of the 2021 draft.
