Indiana men’s basketball: Kanaan Carlyle scouting report

Related Topics: Jane Welsh Carlyle

Indiana men’s basketball landed a commitment from Stanford transfer guard Kanaan Carlyle on Saturday.

He was just a true freshman last year and sat out the first few games of the season before bursting onto the scene as a scorer. He hit something of a freshman wall in Pac-12 play, but watching him makes it clear why the Hoosiers wanted him.

He’s a former top-100 player with NBA upside, now he’ll get to play for a coach that has already sent one guard to the league as a first round draft pick. If things really work out, Carlyle has a shot at being the next.
