This weeks spotlight player is “KK” Keneth Alexander. He is our 6’6 multi versitle wingman. KK has played every position except for the point guard. According to coach Gordon Beresford,”KK is our most consistant offensive player. He has came up with game winning block shots along with key 3pt shots to close games out. Without KK we would not have had a 20 win season.”. Going into the playoffs KK will be a key player to watch. He is an exciting player who plays above the rim and can spread the floor with his outside shooting. The Matrix are very proud to have a player like KK and love to see him excel on the court.
