Position: G
School: Briarcrest Christian

McDonald has a silky soft touch and can penetrate with the best of them as well. Great guard prospect who should develop into one of the best shooters while at the college level. McDonald is a hard worker and a very coachable young man as well. His game is getting better all of the time. Not afraid to crash the boards, Solid defender, but working hard on becoming a lock down perimeter defender. Great work ethic, we love this kids game.
From Marshall Co. Hoopfest, 12/07 -
Paducah Tilghman proved that they are going to be a top team in the Bluegrass this season as they knocked off a very talented Briarcrest Christian squad, 70-63. Tilghman was led by 6’5 Isaac McClure who finished with 24 points (8-13 from the field), 11 rebounds and a handful of blocks. McClure was the best under-the-radar prospect we saw on Friday as he is a bouncy athlete that is aggressive inside despite his thin frame. Low-to Mid-Major programs looking for a high-energy forward should keep an eye on this senior. Other players that had big games for the winners include 6’5 senior Stefon Perry (16 points and 5 rebounds) and 5’10 junior Bryon Wright (20 points and 4 assists).Briarcrest was led by 6’4 junior Leslie McDonald’s 21 points and 12 rebounds. McDonald, ranked 16th in the country in the class of 2009, has a smooth scoring game. He shoots the ball well, especially in the midrange, and is tough to stop driving to the basket. McDonald is being recruited by all of the elite schools and he said that he is currently considering North Carolina, Memphis, Tennessee, Indiana, Georgetown, Duke and Ohio State.
