2026: 5* PG Tay Kinney Offered

Kinney is a scoring and playmaking lead guard who is smooth and versatile with his attack. He’s a three-range scoring threat who is creative and crisp with his handle, especially adept at getting to his pull-up, but can also get to the paint. He can rise-up at the rim when he has some momentum, and also owns dexterity and touch as a lay-up maker. He’s capable of knocking down open threes, with a plenty projectable stroke, but could get more consistent after making 33% in the OTE last season and short-arming his release at times. Kinney also has good natural instincts and timing as a passer, averaging 5 assists per game as a junior. He’s great in drive-and-kick type actions but also understands how to feed the post. While he’s naturally aggressive, he does so without unnecessarily dominating the ball as he plays within the flow pretty instinctively. Defensively, he’s good with his hands and shown flashes of being able to blow-up ball screens, but like most kids his age, just needs to be more consistent with his approach. Physically, while he measures in at just over 6-foot-1, he plays much bigger than his size, thanks his long 6-foot-6-plus wingspan, increased muscle mass, and the physicality in his game.

Didn't he flirt with the NBA this year up to the deadline? I'm just saying I think if we have a good to amazing year he would be inclined to try again.

He entered the draft but was not selected for the NBA Draft Combine and as initially expected he pulled his name out of the NBA Draft. He certainly can try again next year if he has a good season. If he ends up entering the NBA draft again with a much better chance of being selected then I expect UConn will be in the portal for an experienced point guard.
