Originally from Richardson, Texas, Liam McNeeley has played at three different high school programs in his career. He started out at Pearce High School in the Dallas area, then moved to John Paul II High School in Plano, Texas, before landing at basketball powerhouse Montverde Academy in Florida for the 2022-2023 season. As a sophomore at John Paul II, McNeeley averaged 17 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks. He helped John Paul II win the TAPPS 6A state championship. “I try to be as versatile as I can,” McNeeley told On3’s Jamie Shaw. “I stretch the floor, obviously watching me with Montverde. I can shoot the 3. I’ll also put it on the floor to create for my teammates and sometimes get to the rim. I watch a lot of Luka Doncic. He is my favorite player on my favorite team. I like his ability to create opportunities, and I think he’s the best passer in the league.” During the 2022 AAU season, McNeeley led Nike’s EYBL 16U Circuit in scoring, with more 24 per game, which led to a call-up to the 17U level in May. He then averaged 14.5 points in 15 games playing up with the Drive Nation program. McNeely also won a gold medal with the 2021 USA Basketball U16 National Team.
