Kentrell steps into the high school ranks as one of the best on ball defenders in the state. You don’t get the nickname “Bad Night” for no reason, and Kentrell lives up to it on a nightly basis. Against elite competition at the Fab 40, he was named defensive MVP which further provides the type of defender he is. Relentless multiple efforts every possession is what you get from Kentrell. Whether that is fighting over screens, diving on the floor or battling for rebounds, he does whatever it takes to get the job done.

Offensively he uses that same aggression and relentless effort when attacking the rim. A crafty below the rim finisher with either hand and can finish through contact consistently. Playmaking is an underrated skill of his, as he’s able to beat his man off the dribble, touch the paint and get open looks for his teammates. Improving the shooting is next up on the development plan, but the other traits are so good, all he needs to be is serviceable. From day one, Kentrell will contribute and impact winning for C.B. Aycock.
