He played college basketball for Sacramento State and was the first player in the school's division I history to be named conference player of the year and an honorable mention All-American.

College career

McKinney, a point guard from Fremont, California, started his college career for Ohlone College of the NJCAA. After a season there, he transferred to Sacramento State.

In 2017, McKinney signed with Chong son Kung Fu[9] of the ASEAN Basketball League as a heritage import player. He led the team to a regular-season title, which qualified the team to the Semi-Finals in the 2018 ABL Playoffs, but fell short to the Mono Vampire in a 0-2 sweep.
