Summary:
Kanaan Carlyle is an agile, skilled point guard that previously played in the Overtime Elite league before playing for Stanford. He had a freshman season, and he’s a sharpshooter that can shoot and score the basketball. However, he will need to show that he can reliably run the point, and he will need to show that he can guard upper-echelon opponents on a consistent basis. Still, his offensive skills could enable him to project into a backup point guard role in the NBA.
