Carmelo Anthony's trainer hypes Kiyan Anthony's 'improvement' during workout session with Clippers guard
The excitement surrounding Kiyan Anthony continues to soar each day due to the promising potential he brings to basketball. With Carmelo Anthony's son working on his craft, Carmelo's trainer Chris Joseph Brickley praised Kiyan's improvement during a workout session with LA Clippers guard Nah'Shon Lee "Bones" Hyland and New Heights Lightning's Christian Jeffrey.
Brickley uploaded a highlight reel of the workout session on Instagram, with the caption:
"@bizzybones vs @kiyananthony vs @_chrisjeff competing. Bones is so skilled and shifty! Kiyan is continuing to improve. And Chris stock has been rising all summer."
Kiyan Anthony's handle looks fluid as he incorporates it well with his offensive style to get the kind of shots he wants. Competing against an NBA player is a great learning experience for any aspiring athlete.
Before the shooting guard makes his debut in the professional league in 2025, Kiyan has already received numerous college offers from Syracuse, USC, Ohio State, Florida State, Rutgers and Auburn.

"Are you s***ting me? I'm f***ing with the fact that he believes that. He exudes that confidence. ... This man, he been thinking about this. ... So, no, f**k out of here, Ky. I'm speaking to my son so I don't want to curse, but f**k out of here. ... And also, he got some s**t at 16 that I wouldn't fathom doing at 16. I got to give him his flowers."
Kiyan Anthony, standing at 6-foot-5, plays for the Long Island Lutheran High School and led his father's team in the 2024 EYBL circuit, averaging 19.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
