When junior Kenny Pohto speaks, the team listens.
At least, that’s according to Wichita State’s head men’s basketball coach, Paul Mills. In a recent press conference, Mills made a point of highlighting Pohto’s leadership on the team during the offseason.
Pohto, a forward from Stockholm, Sweden, said that it was high time for him to step into a leadership position on the team.
“It’s time to start being a leader and take care of the little ones, like Isaac (Abidde) and Jacob Germany, just to name a few,” Pohto said. “I feel like when I talk to the players, they understand that I’m trying to help them, and I’m not just messing around ”
According to Pohto, effective guidance comes from honesty.
