Draft Notes
McBride is a compact, strong and hard-nosed point guard with nice athletic ability and NBA level tools. He was one of the winners of the draft combine thanks to his impressive 6-8 3/4 wingspan.
He enjoyed a breakout sophomore season for the Mountaineers, scoring the ball at a nice clip, hitting his 3pt shots and taking over a leadership role on the team. He’s a point guard who can really score but he doesn’t need to be a ball dominant player to be effective.
McBride is a stout 1 on 1 defender who slides his feet well, has pesky hands and is a ball-hawk. He’s got a strong upper body and can body up to keep his man out of the lane and can guard up one or two positions thanks to his strength.
McBride projects as a Kyle Lowry type of player at the NBA level.
