"Got a burner like his pops 🔥," one said.

Kiyan is the No. 34 prospect nationally, the No. 12 shooting guard in the 2025 class and the No. 1 prospect in New York, as per the On3 Industry Rankings. He received offers from top programs, including the USC Trojans, Tennessee Volunteers, Providence Friars and Ohio State Buckeyes, among others.

However, he chose Syracuse on Nov. 15. Carmelo, who also played for the program and won the national championship, was interviewed by Sports Illustrated and gave his take on Kiyan's decision.

"I just want him to go have fun. Go have fun, enjoy the college experience. I want him to enjoy being a college basketball player," Anthony said in March. "That's a different type of experience. Once you experience that, then you feel like, 'OK, OK, I've got that, now it's time for me to move on.' But you can't move on until you actually experience that."
