Summary
Kevin is a prototype 3&D player that most teams want. He is able to space the floor and improve as a shooter throughout his college career. He is a threat moving off the ball. He can cut and come off down screens to finish at the rim. He can come off-screen and shoot the 3 as well. He struggles scoring when having the ball in his hands. Shooting off the dribble is something he needs to improve on. He is an all-around defender. He can defend 1-3 and make it hard for any player to get open shots off. His long arms and physicality are his biggest strength on defense.

Shot Contest Grade- rates a player’s shot contest on a scale of 1-4 under the following criteria
1. Wide Open- player was not within 8-10 feet of the scorer or no contest at all (1 Contest Point)
2. Open- hands down on a contest, within 8-10 feet of the shooter (2 Contest Points)
3. Light Contest- hands up on a contest and within 5-8 feet of a shooter (3 Contest Points)
4. Heavy Contest- close to the shooter and forcing an off-balance, fading, or double-clutch shot, or a light contest preceded by a non-fouling bump in the legal guarding position (4 Contest Points)
