Chris did a great job of keeping his team in it with #1 ranked Juneau for most of the game. He’s so crafty around the basket, timing his pick ups perfectly to catch defenders off guard and get them in the air early before he simply steps around to finish. Even against a Juneau team that is filled with length and athleticism, it was the 6′ Kenesie often coming out with two points when he got into the lane. Defensively he’s rock solid on the ball, and is always going to be the first player on the floor fighting for a loose ball.
