Will be an interesting follow. The videos I can find don’t really look like a wing profile. Doesn’t look twitchy enough.They look more like a small ball 4 along the lines of former Archie recruiting crush Matt Cross, hopefully minus the flakiness. But he’s so young the athleticism could certainly scale up.

On campus today, per Rabby.

He was on the field in front of the student section before the IUFB game this afternoon, it looked like Kenny was leading the gameday experience for the visit.  Overall, the family looked like they were having a nice time with the festivities.

This feels like one that could absolutely happen if they’re super serious about him.

Watching this game now. I’m trying to like this kid because this sort of feels like one that could go on for a while and might be a thing, but he misses all my hot buttons. He’s got 1 really nice skill, shooting, and seems to process the game pretty well but there’s not a lot of projectability there. The only way he’s getting shots in college is if they’re manufactured for him. He’s nothing but a floor spacer though he can clearly do that. And, man, I don’t know who he defends. He’s as tweener as it gets. He’s still really young so maybe it comes, but he just looks to me like a niche piece at the HM level. 
Side note: when you’re watching one of these and you see some kid rolling off a screen into a catch and shoot 3 and he rises confidently and then fires it off the top of the board you need to let me know that’s coming. Don’t know who that kid is but he rose up like Curry and then shot it 5 feet long. I choked on an ice cube.

2 things caught my untrained eye watching Kohnen.  Didn't look like he had much of a vertical and don't recall even attempting a dunk.  Also, I didn't think he had very good handles.  But that's just my view as a couch potato.
