Paul George was the latest NBA name captured at the 2024 Peach Jam supporting Kiyan Anthony and other up-and-coming youngsters in the nation. Anthony is part of Team Melo and averaged 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the regular EYBL circuit.

Team Melo didn't earn the Peach Jam bid but are partaking in the Peach Invitations Tournament. With that, as the dust settles on Kiyan Anthony's 40-point game in front of Ja Morant, Antony posted 18 points against Georgia stars on a tough 5-of-14 shooting night in front of PG13.

As Anthony prepares for the remaining two games of the tourney, fans shared massive appreciation for the 17-year-old for the improvement in his overall game:

"Developed into a way better playmaker this summer 🔥🔥," a fan wrote in the comments.
"Kiyan Anthony is LEAGUE READY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽," a followed quipped.
"League him!," another fan wrote.

More fans chimed in with the most cherished elements from Anthony's game.

"I like that passing shit out him showing yall that all-around game," a fan quipped.
"Kiyan next up ngl," a follower wrote.
"Melo always at his son games W dad," a fan highlighted Carmelo Anthony's continued support for his son.

Kiyan Anthony could soon voice his preferred college programs

Being a 2025 talent pool frontrunner, Kiyan Anthony will soon embark on the pre-commitment journey of seriously pursuing a college program. The 17-year-old received an offer from the Rutgers Scarlet Knights this week, making it nearly 20 overall offers.

UCF, Tennessee, Seton Hall, Providence, Pittsburgh, Michigan and Memphis are some of the programs in pursuit of the rangy guard, while programs like USC, Auburn, Ohio State and Syracuse are expected to land the star kid.

Even though Anthony's stock in the draft pool will continue to rise and could lure in standout programs, fans are anticipating the shooting guard to commit to the Orange, mostly due to Carmelo Anthony's connection with the school.

Anthony, in his one-and-done college career, represented the Orange in the 2002-2003 season. He broke multiple program records and led Syrance to its first and only NCAA championship, behind averages of 22.2 points and 6.2 rebounds.
