| Paul McMillan IV-6'1" PG 2022 Cincinnati, OH |
Coming off a standout performance at the Midwest Regional UA Next Combine in Chicago last week, Paul McMillan IV(6’1”/PG/2022/Cincinnati, OH), demonstrated an ability to excel at the U17 level, as he helped lead his U-17 All-Ohio Cincinnati squad to the championship of the Midwest Future Stars tourney in Columbus. Although McMillan was more than comfortable serving as a playmaker at the U17 level, he also put up big numbers, averaging 18.75 points per game in a 5-game run to the title. McMillan’s scoring production was particularly impressive given the fact he was playing with high school and 3 prep school kids.
According to Coach Samuel Villegas, McMillan did not miss a beat all weekend. “The kid [McMillan] is amazing. You could not tell he was an 8thgrader. He never looked out of place against the older kids. He played 5 games and only turned the ball over 3 times. He was my floor general and he ran my team,” said Villegas. Villegas sees a bright future ahead for McMillan. “I can’t wait to see this kid in 3-4 years. He’s a high major player,” continued Villegas. McMillan’s father was also impressed with his son’s play. “He looked comfortable. Playing with older guys who knew how to play allowed Lil P to play his natural position without having to focus on scoring. He needs to play U-16 all of the time,” said the senior McMillan. Needless to say, we are not at all surprised at McMillan’s success against old kids!
