Nice short interview with Melo during the Knicks game last on MSG. I didn't notice if Kiyan was there with him.
 


FYI some of the videos don’t have a lot of the players listed in them.
 
I wonder if Kiyan isn’t legit top 10 in the whole class at this point. Granted that shouldn’t come with expectations as really no one outside a talent like Flagg ever should but I’m just floored how much Kiyan has progressed.
I am not sure he should be top 10 because the Top 6-7 are really good, but Gilbert Arenas said it was a joke that he didn't make the McDonalds game and Arena's kid is ranked 10.

Fair - and maybe the point is top 20 but either way hard pressed to make a list of 20 better kids in his class with how far he has come.

The McDonald’s game is all political. Some here will remember when Morgan Wooten kept Billy Edelin out of the game in 2002. Billy left Wooten’s DeMatha squad and did his senior year at Oak Hill, where he excelled and led them to the mythical HS National Championship. He was one of the best, if not the best, PG’s in the country. Not even a sniff for the Mickey D game. Wooten had a lot of power over that selection process at the time.

Then we had the “Paul Harris doesn’t qualify” snub because he played a 5th year of HS ball. The kid was the only person Chuck Norris was afraid of, and he couldn’t get on that team.

I have a love hate relationship with the Mickey D game.

Also Bronny wasn't all LA city but got into the MCD game.
 
Can we please wait until we see grown men guarding Kiyan before we get the crazy talk.
nah i have watched enough of kiyan to know hes a better shooter than jj...jj is quicker and doesnt mean kiyan is better overall...

defense will matter for kiyans playing time...but then again, jj isnt a good defender, either...i mean jj loses his man several times a game his entire SU career, lets be real

im not saying one way or other but i think theres a good chance kiyan is a top 5 player on next years roster...and maybe even better than JJ

(and i dont think jj is setting a high bar for kiyan to beat tbh)

furthermore, i think all of the projections about the hierarchy on the team and the team's style of play are UNPREDICTABLE...and wont go the way everyone thinks it will!

everyone thinks this will be a running team etc...but maybe that wont work and they will have to scale it back...theres always gonna be adjustments and injuries etc that will change things from the projections

(which is why i am fundamentally gainst building a roster that can only play 1 style of play)
