About Kendall

Expert Analysis

Mark Miller

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

A lead guard with good instincts and the ability to lead a team, Newman handled the ball well, got the ball to his teammates in good scoring positions and played strong perimeter defense for MGC Elite Basketball in its win over Geek Squad. A very capable scorer — he had 11 points in the contest — Newman is a pass-first point guard who figures to battle for a starting position at Wisconsin Lutheran after coming off the bench for the Vikings last season while averaging 2.4 points per game.

If it wasn’t already clear, the Wisconsin Lutheran program is absolutely loaded. Kendall had a consistent role off the bench as a sophomore for Wisco, but over the weekend showed the damage he can do in a bigger role with MGC Elite. Defenders just couldn’t seem to stick in front of him as he was weaving his way into the lane to finish in a number of ways. Was able to stop on two feet and pivot to hit a couple of tough turnaround jumpers with a hand right in his face. Anytime his team needed a bucket, Kendall seemed to provide a source of offense in their win over D1 Minnesota Gold .

Newman is certainly a guard prospect to monitor the rest of his spring with his wide range skillset and overall athleticism. Newman was in passing lanes, generating deflections, anticipating reversal passes, and pressuring his on ball matchup to really stand out on the defensive end. Kendall utilized his athleticism and advanced skill set on the offensive end to convert some pretty tough finishes. Newman utilized a nice swing step, and patience footwork to explode at the rim through and around contact. An underrated skill with his game, was his ability to read closeouts and attack the rim at the right time. The prospect from Wisco, has no off-switch and plays extremely hard regardless of the score on the board.
