WESTFIELD, Ind. — Mario McKinney tinges his game with tension.
The Vashon guard prowls the floor in a perpetual crouch, whether it's beating a ball-handler to a spot or waiting to take a feed on the wing. At some point, the elastic energy stored in McKinney reaches the point of strain and snaps like a coiled spring.
On Saturday, the breaking point came two minutes into the second half of Brad Beal Elite’s 73-47 rout of BABC during the second session of Nike’s EYBL circuit. Pushing the ball on a secondary break, Joshua Wallace threaded a bounce pass Yuri Collins, who lofted it toward the rim almost as soon as it touched his hands.
