Providence will hand the reigns over to rising junior Kyron Cartwright with Kris Dunn now in the NBA.
Providence was in dire need of point guard help when Kyron Cartwright was contacted following his de-commitment from Loyola Marymount. Cartwright had asked for a release from his National Letter of Intent because the Lions fired head coach Max Good. Once Cartwright was granted that release former Providence associate head coach Andre LaFleur got a call from Cartwright’s high school coach, Anthony Thomas. LaFleur and Thomas were AAU teammates a lifetime ago for west coast based Slam n Jam in the early 1980’s.
