Kiyan, is a freshman, has had a number of games he was in double figure scoring.  High expectations for a freshman but we did not expect major contribution for our results.
[LIST]
[*]Very good in isolation and has great moves to get to the basket 1v1.   
[LIST]
[*]Issue is, when help arrives via double team he is unable to quickly identify an open man.  Could be the offensive set or he may need to see that doubleteam  coming earlier and dish quickly.  
[/LIST]
[*]He does not give the ball up on the break.  Head down dribbling the ball.  If he was a hockey player he would be blown up against the boards before reaching the offensive blue line.
[*]Not a legitimate 3 point shooter (only a freshman and expect to develop)
[*]He starts his isolation well beyond the 3 point line.  Needs to be closer when starting attach
[*]Inconsistent FT Shooter ==>needs to punish defense for fouling when going to basket
[*]Defensively, 
[LIST]
[*]he is not able to prevent his man from ddriving by him.  
[*]Decent in initial denying the ball, but against a player that moves constantly to get open, he fails after a few seconds to contain him man.
[*]Does not react well to lose balls for rebounds.
[*]Does not box out on switches underneath the basket.
[*]The last two could be coaching ==>focus on bursts to the ball, he has that on offence, needs to develop that on defense
[/LIST]

Lots of things to work on.   He is a freshman and not a savior.  I hope he comes back and improves on every aspect of his game

Go CUSE
