We had thousands of players come through the event in Raleigh (NC) at the Phenom Hoops LIVE and there was plenty of talent to be found. One player that we had a chance to watch 2026 6’5 Kohi Strickland once again, and he continues to be one that I would have on my radar as we dive into more of what we have seen over the last few weeks.
When you talk about Strickland, he shows a strong ability to make plays off the dribble, whether it is using his size to get downhill and finish at the rim but also finding ways to get to his spots and score from the mid-range or from further. Strickland can be confident in knocking down shots, looking to break down opponents one-on-one, and has the size to make impact plays in a variety of other areas. He finds ways to be effective and it translates well, especially with his size at 6’5. He helped lead Greensboro Day this past season and we are eager to see what he will provide this upcoming season.
What Was Said:
“He’s a smart, athletic, well-rounded wing prospect with the ability to affect all facets of the game. Strickland can defend multiple positions, rebound like a big man, and cause matchup problems along the perimeter. Although he has somewhat unorthodox mechanics, he shoots the ball well from distance. Strickland scores from all three levels and understands how to mix it up at a healthy rate. He plays within the team structure but is capable of expanding his production as needed. Strickland has no glaring weaknesses and should be expected to enjoy a highly productive sophomore season.”
