Four-star point guard Taylen Kinney just concluded his junior year playing at the Overtime Elite League, where he averaged 20.1 points, four rebounds, five assists and 2.3 steals per game. He also took his high-level performance to AAU basketball, where he played for the Wildcat Select in the Adidas 3SSB sessions.
On Sunday, Kinney shared a post highlighting different moments of him in action with the Wildcat Select on his Instagram page.
The post was a carousel of 11 pictures that gave fans a well-rounded look at Kinney's time with Wildcat Select. Some shots captured him in full action, throwing down dunks, attacking the rim, or pulling up for a jumper, while others showed a different side of the game. Some of the pictures also had him on the bench downing a bottle of water, giving an interview or engaging in other off-court moments.
Kinney played for the Wildcat Select in the recently concluded 3SSB Boys Spring Session 2, which ran from Friday through Sunday. The team delivered an 80–68 win over the Atlanta Celtics to open the weekend on a high note. They, however, came up just short in a tight 60–58 loss to the Washington Warriors on Saturday, but that was their only loss in the session.
The team bounced back later that same Saturday with an 83–69 victory over Beauchamp Elite. They then closed out the session with a 69-59 victory over DreamVision on Sunday.
