Syracuse commit Kiyan Anthony has continued to work on his game ahead of his college basketball journey.
The son of former national champion and Olympic gold medalist Carmelo Anthony showcased his ability to work off screens, slash to the hoop and deliver his jump shot on the dribble.
NBA trainer Jamal Lovell posted a video of Anthony's session.
"He enjoys working hard and he's coachable," Lovell said in his Instagram post. "Keep your head down and keep stacking days killer."
Kiyan Anthony, who recently graduated from high school at Long Island Lutheran, announced his commitment to Syracuse in November 2024 on his father's show, "7PM in Brooklyn." He had offers from 20 other schools, including USC, Florida State, Illinois, Indiana and Arizona State.
The 36th-ranked prospect in the 2025 ESPN 100 had a great 2024-25 season with LuHi, averaging 15.2 points per game in the Nike EYBL Scholastic League.
