Kiyan Anthony, son of the 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony, and Penn State signee Kayden Mingo impressed Arkansas signee Meleek Thomas with their performance at the Hoophall Classic. Anthony and Mingo led Long Island Lutheran High School to a 68-55 win against La Lumiere on Monday.

Anthony scored 16 points and dished out two assists while Mingo had 13 points and grabbed six rebounds. The duo dominated the defense as they were able to convert shots from the 3-point line and get into the paint to beat the traffic and convert lay-ups.

The highlights of their performance were uploaded by the famous Instagram page 'Sports Center NEXT,' where Thomas commented:
