Stanford switch Kanaan Carlyle introduced his dedication to Indiana at present.
A local of Atlanta, Georgia, Carlyle averaged 11.5 factors, 2.7 rebounds and a pair of.7 assists in 25.6 minutes per recreation as a freshman for the Cardinal.
He was named to the honorable point out All Pac-12 freshman staff final season and was named the Related Press nationwide participant of the week on Jan. 2.
Carlyle performed his last highschool season for Additional time Elite earlier than going to Stanford. His first three highschool seasons had been performed at Milton Excessive College. He selected Stanford over Auburn and Baylor out of highschool.
In his lone season in Palo Alto, he scored in double figures 15 occasions and had a career-high 31 factors in opposition to Washington State on Jan. 18. The 31-point effort was probably the most ever in a recreation by a Stanford freshman.
Carlyle, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard, shot 38.6 p.c from the sector, 32 p.c on 3s, and 77.6 p.c from the free-throw line.
He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Right here’s a scouting report on Carlyle from Sam Vecenie of The Athletic:
For a minute this season, it seemed like Carlyle may find yourself as a one-and-done. After lacking the primary month of the marketing campaign, Carlyle averaged 15.4 factors, 3.4 rebounds and a pair of.8 assists in his first 11 video games of the season, together with a monster 28-point efficiency in opposition to Arizona the place he drilled six 3s and lived on the foul line. Then, the second half of the season occurred. In his last 12 video games, he averaged simply 7.9 factors, had extra turnovers than assists and shot simply 31.7 p.c from the sector. His taking pictures from distance fell off a bit and his deal with was a bit looser than I’d seen at decrease ranges, which prevented him from stepping into the paint as constantly as somebody along with his instruments ought to.
Whereas I don’t assume Carlyle is wired to be a real level guard, his demeanor is unbelievable. He’s relentless and aggressive in consistently attacking the rim, and whereas Stanford’s protection was messy, I all the time thought he was robust and keen to crawl into his opponent’s area. If he will get his pull-up jumper again to the place it was to begin this season, he will be the type of three-level collegiate scorer who makes a high-major all-conference staff sooner or later. Carlyle is from the Atlanta space and will look to maneuver again south following his journey to the West Coast.
