Promising Syracuse guard, but the jumper is still the swing skill
In the 2025-26 season, Syracuse guard Kiyan Anthony showed real scoring juice with 8.0 points per game in 18.7 minutes, plus a strong early-game ceiling, but his efficiency lagged—39.9% from the field and 25.4% from three—so the tape says “talent” more than “finished product.” His differentiators are his 6-foot-5 frame, shot-making pedigree, and ability to create offense in bursts, though the public analysis also flags inconsistency and a need for better decision-making and shooting consistency. For a team, he’s a high-upside fit if you can live with freshman growing pains and want a guard who can eventually become a microwave scorer with more polish.
