He’s definitely looking more aggressive and ready to compete at the college level. He’s come a long way in a couple years. He’s around the right people.
Looking forward to what he and all the other newcomers bring. Hopefully they will be able to mesh on both ends of the floor.
I wasn’t comparing his height in relative to them. He looked taller to me.
It was Rothstein posting under a fake name
I was comparing how easily he was dunking compared to a year ago. The fact his friends are providing little to no resistance doesn’t affect that. I don’t know if that is a function of height, or if his athleticism has improved. One data point, he represented Puerto Rico in the Nike International Hoop Summit invitational recently. His official measurements have Kiyan about as tall as his dad as of a few months ago. Kiyan was measured with shoes, Carmelo, measurements from the NBA combine, did not.
It looks pretty freaking smooth.
He’s a completely different player from 2 years ago. Chris has helped him big time plus his dad knows what he needs to work on as well. He’s at an advantage having professionals by his side. Chris was training Melo when he was at the knicks for a period of time as well. Chris has helped many stars improve their games. He’s legit and respected.
Melo was every bit of 220 lbs when he played game 1.I was comparing how easily he was dunking compared to a year ago. The fact his friends are providing little to no resistance doesn’t affect that.

Regarding the workout we saw with Kiyan, I personally think both of the guys with the pads should be wacking Kiyan with everything they have every time. He’s going to get hit much harder than that on non calls frequently… especially when we play the North Carolina ACC teams. They aren’t really simulating game conditions if he’s not getting body checked and smacked in the face every rep.
Plus, my other comment was about his shooting. He looks good shooting that step in three in rhythm. I hope he gets to take a couple hundred of those this season off the bench.
EDIT, I found the measurements list.
Kiyan Anthony
Height 6’6
Standing reach 8’5.5”
Wingspan 6’8
Hand length 8’5
Hand width 9’5
Carmelo Anthony

Standing Reach 8’9.5”

So he’s not caught his dad as of April.

Sorry—who is Chris?
Rock. Get with it
Guy in the red shorts all tatted up.
You wanted to know. He's just some guy who hangs around the gym chewing gum.//
Thank you.
So the guy is 6'4"...JB approves that Chris knows ball.
