Reliable senior guard who earned his role with grit and improvement
In the 2008-09 season, Chris Kanne was a fifth-year senior at Loyola Marymount who had turned a walk-on path into a scholarship spot, a strong sign of toughness and buy-in. He played in 25 of the Lions’ 28-29 games and gave them steady minutes as a perimeter option, including 14 made three-pointers that season. His profile suggests a low-ego, coachable guard who brings experience, maturity, and academic discipline — the kind of player teams value for culture and depth even if the box score is modest.[1][5]
