Class of 2025 SG Kiyan Anthony (NY) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (11/15/24)

White brings us someone that we haven’t had in a long time. A big time defensive stopper. Better yet, he loves playing defense and wants to guard the other team’s best player. He usually shuts them down. He has great quickness, lateral movement, timing blocking shots and an unbelievable reach. He can score ten points a game just by hustling and getting out on the break. He will bring some excitement back to the Dome.

It’s crazy to me that this year it’s hard to find a guy that can actually dunk the ball.

Kiyan is so much more like Lawrence Moten than like his Dad. Obviously not the physical nightmare that Melo was but smooth and silky as can be.

That’s a pretty good comparison. More of a glider. But I am very concerned with his lack of athleticism. He’s not a P4 athlete from what I’ve seen. Really hope he is smart and crafty to make up for it.

I would like to see more lower half explosion. And he needs to finish higher at the rim at the next level. He needs to get stronger in his legs.

I don’t see him as a day one difference maker scoring wise. He looks like a great glue guy at some point. Hope I’m wrong.

Sadiq White is a tremendous athlete, hopefully he can fill that void. But I’d like to see better skills from him.

His dad wasn’t a jump out of the gym guy either and remember he put on the pounds right about now

Eh, Carmelo was an absolutely elite athlete in college. Sure, he maybe didn't have elite ups, but his quickness and strength were pretty much unmatched.

I think Kiyan can be a good P4 player without being a top level athlete. Look at Tyus Jones for example
