Four-star son of Carmelo Anthony puts USC among top six schools

Syracuse is the favorite, but USC is still in the hunt.

Four-star Class of 2025 shooting guard Kiyan Anthony from Long Island Lutheran High School in New York has revealed his top six schools: Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State, Rutgers, Syracuse, and USC basketball.

The 6-foot-5 guard has had a strong spring and summer playing for Team Melo on the EYBL Circuit. Kiyan Anthony is currently averaging 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

On3 Sports offered this analysis:

“Scoring is the thing with Kiyan Anthony. He is wired to score the ball. And, year over year, his game has continued on an upward trend. Standing 6-4/6-5, he has a good frame with nice length. Good positional size. Offensively, Anthony has good touch with a solid base in his jump shot. He is comfortable off the bounce or the catch. He is starting to show comfort as a go-to type scorer. Anthony plays confidently. He will need to continue developing the handle. This will also help his efficiency and help in learning (and getting to) his spots on the floor. Taking a less is more offensive approach will help his overall threat as a scorer. He has solid defensive anticipation off the ball.

“Anthony will need to continue adding strength. The range is deep and he has an array of off-balance or step-back type moves to get a clean look. Anthony is already producing big numbers and he still has some ceiling to continue growing into as a player.”

Kiyan has mentioned that he plans to make a decision on his college choice before the start of basketball season.
