Player: Joey McMullin

Class: 2020

Position: SG

High School: Orange High School, NC

One young prospect to keep an eye on in the coming years is 2020 shooting guard Joey McMullin from Orange high school in North Carolina. This past season for Orange, McMullin played in 27 games as a true freshman, averaging 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game. But those numbers will look to increase with a bigger role.

Coaches Description: “Joey is a rising 10th grader at Orange High School, he started for us last year as a shooting guard, that was his first year actually playing on the wing. He did a great job of transferring his game from the post to being a perimeter player. He has some things to work on obviously, as that transition is a tough one, but he shoots the ball well and is learning to play the position. He will be a vital part of our team this coming season. Great upside.”

Phenom Hoops Jr 150 (2015): McMullin has the ability to catch and finish on the block in a variety of ways. He has such advanced footwork in the post and can score from multiple post moves. More importantly, he can finish in traffic with either hand. McMullin is a solid rebounder and has an excellent outlet pass. One the outlet pass is made, he runs he floor extremely well. As he grows and develops, McMullin will need to expand his perimeter game to make him a more all around player.

Champion Showcase Preview: 6’2″ Played for years as a low post player and has good back to the basket footwork. Has the ability to post up in the low / mid-block with his back to the basket and create his own shot in a variety of ways. Recently has stepped out to play more of a three / wing role and has turned into a three-point shooter averaging over three 3’s per game made and shooting over 40% from the arc. Never afraid to take the big shot. Excellent free throw shooter. Leads team in scoring at almost 20 ppg.
