He’s genuinely a prodigy…he just moves different than the rest of these kids
I was telling one of the homies this exact thing.

When that 4th quarter hit, he was playing at his own pace, letting the game come to him, and everyone else was trying to force themselves into the frame. Everything he did was looking like a pro; all those defensive possessions he had were only layering that. You could see even AJ trying to get in on the action, but couldn't get it going because he was trying to force it, getting caught up in a deadend.

I don't really pay any attention to preps anymore but this one moves different. From his highlights, I thought he was more of a taller Jamal Crawford with a better frame. Watching him in action, naw, he moves way different, and his feel is way higher. It's funny; him and AJ are in the same class cause they look like T-Mac and Kobe Redoux

He did the same shyt when I saw him hoop two weeks ago. His jumper was off but when the 4th came and it was kinda close…it’s like he hit a gear and just turned it on. It isn’t like Wiggins where he would float you know…Darryn is still playing well but when shyt is money time he gets different.

Side note: I think AJ is forcing it because he’s hearing the chatter that Darryn is better…

Kiyan surprised me in that game too. A lot better since last time I saw him play. He a bucket, his body just needs a couple more years of maturing.
He’s talented but he needs a weight room and some plyometrics workouts immediately. The gap athletically between him and Darryn was crazy.

Considering where he was when I saw him as couple of years ago, he massively improved

Watching some of the clips posted, am I bugging for saying he reminds me of Tyreke Evans?

He’s much better than what he was when he was at Christ The King. Melo letting him cook and forcing him to be the guy on his AAU team helped him tremendously and the kid put the work in.
