SG Kiyan Anthony (NY) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (11/15/24)

OK - I just came from divine medicine. So...
In the world of non-linear thinking - basketball, is a lot like jazz. Five to 10 people with many problems to solve at a rapid pace. It's not a skill that everyone possesses.
The reason I mention this - I'm going to compare Kiyan Anthony to Derek Trucks.
He has a close family member that is HOF worthy and many, many, many great players passing through his life at such a young age. Great natural talent combined with great teachers can lead to extraordinary players, It will be fun to watch.

Me doing the math on when he’d sign here and realizing my own 12 year old will be headed to college the same year

It would be impossible for him to come here and fill daddy s shoes!

Too much to ask of anyone!

We win never see him in Orange

Is he on the recruiting map at all?. Being 2025 I would imagine he is starting to get enough exposure to be ranked ( if good enough...)

 

[JLine]

Definitely has a ton of his old man in his game. And looks advanced for his age with some of the moves pops has taught him. Would love to see him in Orange. If I'm still kicking. Crazy how time flies though.

 

[Melancer46]

There's almost no rotation on his jumpers, almost looks like a knuckleball

 

[TinyManInside]

I know he's young but his shooting form needs serious work.

One web site says he was 6’3 as of last month.

Turned 15 a month ago

La La is 5’6.

Melo was under 6 feet tall when he was a HS frosh. I think that is where Kiyan is now.

Guessing he is going to end up around 6’8.

Don't mess with what works ... If he is making buckets, let him make them how he makes them

Would love to see your form..

All i noticed was i thought the ball was going to hit the ceiling. Some serious air on those shots.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

He’s still a kid. It’s still a bit of a push shot. Wait another year or so…

Yeah I think it’s just strength at this
Point

It's much better than his, that's for sure. I'm sure he's 100000X the athlete I ever was though.

I'm not sure what your form has to do with Kiyan's. That was a weird statement by another poster. But, I agree with you and with what Cuse_NYC said about it being a youthful form. It will be interesting to see how he develops over the next couple of years.

SU should have offered him the night he was conceived.

 

[Trueblue25]

Have we not offered him yet?

He’s the son of our greatest basketball alumni and national championship mvp.

And he’s actually a D1 talent.
