Draylan Mclinton | Oakland Soldiers | Class of 2030
6’4” PF | Current Teams: Skilled Game (AZ) Oakland Soldiers Jr. Eybl (CA)

Draylan McLinton put together a dominant weekend for the Oakland Soldiers, solidifying his reputation as a true double-double machine. Simply put—there was no stopping Draylan on the glass. Possession after possession, he imposed his will, outworking and outmuscling everyone in the paint.

McLinton’s game mirrors the old-school toughness of Sir Charles Barkley—physical, tenacious, and relentless. His footwork in the paint is direct and efficient, allowing him to create space, finish through contact, and punish defenders who aren’t ready for a war. When guarding Draylan, opponents know they’re in for a long, physical night.

Against Arizona Unity, McLinton delivered a monster performance with 15 points and 20 rebounds, completely controlling the interior. He followed that up versus City Elite with another strong showing, posting 12 points and 15 rebounds, once again setting the tone with his toughness and motor.

Certified: Physical Banger. Double-Double Machine.
