Kyler McLendon brings efficient upside and shot-making juice to Cumberlands
Kyler McLendon is a 6-foot guard for the University of the Cumberlands Patriots who, in the 2025-26 season, played 32 games and averaged 3.1 points and 1.0 rebound per game, with a breakout ceiling hinted by a 14-point game and a 4-of-6 three-point night against Midway. He looks like a steady, low-drama guard with real perimeter touch and enough competitiveness to earn minutes; the interesting part is the trajectory, since his high school track record included leading scorer production and a reputation as a steal for Cumberlands. If you want a guard who can grow into a timely shooting role and won’t shrink from the moment, he’s worth a serious look.
