Taevion Kinsey, Marshall

Junior

20 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 3.1 apg

The 6-foot-5 guard from Columbus, Ohio, is a long, bouncy guard with a great first step off the wing. Kinsey loves to finish at the rim and has a solid mid-range game. He’s not a high-volume outside shooter but is shooting a respectable 44% from 3-point range. Kinsey will need to add some weight to his 185-pound frame, but his fluidity on the court is reminiscent of Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton. It will be interesting to see how Kinsey matches up with other elite guards in the draft combine, assuming the NBA has one this year. There’s no doubt he dominated the C-USA, but scouts will be watching to see how he adjusts going up against bigger, stronger players in the paint.

I've always been fascinated with the way he seems to float when he reaches the apex of his jump, like he's breaking the laws of physics for a second. I've also wondered if that wouldn't be his weakness: if he bulks up to the size he'd need to be to play in the league, will he still float?
