McBride took major strides as a sophomore, averaging 15.9 points and 4.8 assists per game in the 2020-21 season. After averaging 9.5 points per game as a freshman and coming off the bench for the Mountaineers, he made the most of his decision to return to college. 

McBride told ESPN's Jonathan Givony in April:

"This season went well for me. I was able to show how I could impact a game in different ways, be it my defense, scoring, and overall being a leader on the court. I think I showed flashes of high scoring games as a freshman and this year my focus was to be more consistent all around and improve every aspect, which I think I did."

Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic praised the move:

McBride joins a Knicks team that added a pair of guards earlier in the evening in Houston's Quentin Grimes (No. 25 overall) and Zalgiris Kaunas' Rokas Jokubaitis (No. 34).
