La La Anthony has documented Kiyan Anthony's moments during the offseason

Kiyan Anthony is still away from the NBA, but he's taking the right steps to become a solid prospect in the league once the moment arrives. This offseason, he's been very active, playing multiple games while her mother supports him.

Anthony was present at the Nike EYBL Peach Invitational Tournament, where he recorded a notable performance last week, dropping 26 points, grabbing three rebounds and dishing six assists to lead Team Melo to an easy 85-68 victory over NW Rotary Rebels.

La La shared an Instagram story hyping up the player with a series of shocked emojis. She praised Kiyan for 'going crazy' in front of Ja Morant and his father Carmelo Anthony.

On Jul. 20, Kiyan put up 27 points to lead Team Melo to an overtime win over Team Durant.

Kiyan Anthony speaks on his college offers

Talking about his options to play in college, Kiyan Anthony admitted that Syracuse is interested in his services during a conversation with On3.

“They’re (Syracuse) on me heavy. I’m looking to take a second visit. I want to go to a basketball game when the season starts. I know it’s (Ohio State) a new building program with coach (Jake) Diebler over there. They were the first coaches in the gym to come see me today so that shows that they’re really interested in me. I really like that so they’re really high on my list. I’m looking forward to taking a visit after Peach," Kiyan Anthony said.

He reportedly has more offers from other programs, but going to Syracuse would mean a lot to his family.
