As McBride completes his first summer league experience, the 6-foot-2 guard averaged 15.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
McBride will now prepare for his rookie season with the New York Knicks. The guard depth for the Knicks is very deep but McBride will have a shot at making an NBA roster in the 2021-22 season.
