Kyle Himes
About Kyle
Expert Analysis
Owen Siebring | Prep Hoops Scout
Kyle’s OTD team came up on the wrong end of a matchup against The Academy on day one of the tournament. But his second day at the Rumble gave him a chance to truly stand out.
Kyle possesses a really smooth jump shot, helping him pour in 13 points in his second game of the afternoon. But that’s only the start of what makes him such a complete player. He’s a tenacious defender-forcing a lot of deflections while on defense. And maybe his strongest attribute is his ball-handling skills. Kyle may just be the best ball-handler of any 16U player at this year’s Rumble in the Rapids. He toys with the defense, has great court vision, and has an elite ability to distribute the ball.
The manner in which he makes passes could remind a spectator of a young Caitlin Clark. He makes a full-court pass look elementary, and he has a great knock for making a pass mid-air: right when the defense thinks he’s going up for a shot.
Himes piles up plenty of assists, and a lot of could-be-assists on passes that are exceptional… but just don’t wind up falling through the basket.
It’s Kyle’s first year playing with OTD, and spectators were fortunate to see him play on Saturday afternoon… he nearly had to skip out on that game because he had his high school prom to attend!
Kyle is still developing as a player, but has the talent to become one of the state’s best passers over his final two years of high school.
