Kiyan Anthony to take his college tours this September

In the upcoming season, Kiyan Anthony will be playing his senior high school season with the Long Island Lutheran. After making official visits to Syracuse and Florida State, On3 reports that the guard will be visiting USC, Auburn, Indiana, and Ohio State in September.

Anthony currently averaged 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per contest in the EYBL Circuit. His forthcoming college career is expected to be longer than usual compared with other players. Carmelo Anthony said in an episode of his "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast:

“I see the potential, but just know there's a large chance that you're going to come in [to the NBA] and you're not going to play because you're just not prepared to be a pro yet."

"My son is going to college. I don't even preach one and done to him. We’re not even playing that game because I don't even want you to start thinking that right now.”
