New England Renaissance Series: #7 Kuran Iverson

The New England Renaissance Series is an ongoing countdown of some of the best prospects in the region regardless of class. It is important not to dwell on the order of the rankings but rather on the unprecedented amount of talent the region possesses.


#7 Kuran Iverson (2013)
Height: 6'8    Weight: 205
Hometown: Windsor Connecticut
School Team: Northwest Catholic
Travel Team: Connecticut Select
NERR Rank: 2     National Rank: 12

Iverson has the ability to be a young Kevin Durant when it is all said and done. He is a legitimate 6'8 wing who can shoot from deep, take people off the dribble, and finish explosively. Iverson has all of the tools to be a McDonalds All-American by the time his high school career is finished. Here is his ESPN evaluation and highlight video. 


An incredibly skilled and talented young player, with a world of talent, Iverson has as much long term potential as any player in the class of 2013. He stands a legitimate 6'8" with guard like skills and the versatility to play four different positions on the floor. He has the complete package for a skill standpoint, able to shoot the three, make mid-range pull-ups, score with a jump hook on the low post, handle and pass against pressure, and create for himself and others. Physically, he has great agility for his size, a pretty strong and developing frame, and solid athleticism.

KI > KD. Also, Allen Iverson's mom is from Hartford. I'd be shocked if there wasn't some relation.
