There isn’t much left still to say about Paris. He was a walking highlight all weekend long with his above the rim finishes and three point range. At 6’2 he already has good length as a guard, with the handle to create instant offense. Already having a year of varsity experience at the AAAA level under his belt, coming up against players in his own grade simply felt too easy for him at times.

The Park Center guard made a serious “you were right the first time, Paris Kyles Paris Kyles 6'2" | PG/SG Park Center | 2030 State MN could be the best prospect in this class” type of statement.

And defensively I thought Kyles was in his spots using length to deflect, bother, or block on many plays. Great impression made.
