Plenty of talent from the Class of 2025 and 2026 is on display with the Border League tipping off. Among the talents from the Class of 2026, Brandon McCoy represents St. John Bosco from Bellflower, California.
During his game against Overtime Elite, McCoy had a game-winning performance. He shot off the dribble, converted fadeaway shots, dished out assists and even converted a shot off the alley when the ball was out of bounds.
Some of the highlights were uploaded by basketball page Ball is Life and the hoops fans posted their reactions in the comment section:
Some of the fans did not believe that McCoy was a point guard.
"PG with a SG mindset lol," commented a fan after McCoy converted difficult shots.
""Point guard" lmaooo," another fan found McCoy's position amusing with the way he was playing basketball.
Another fan commented, "You I don't see a point guard."
Some other fans were full of praise for the 6-foot-4 guard and made comparisons with NBA players like Anthony Edwards and Paul George:
"mini pg13," commented a fan as he compared McCoy with Paul George.
This fan commented that McCoy's playstyle reminded him of Anthony Edwards, "I low-key see Anthony Edward's a bit. Could just be me, he's tough either way."
