DURHAM, North Carolina — Highlights, not merely the limelight, is what Stanton Kidd said he needs.Kidd has been granted a release from N.C. Central, where this past season he was the second leading scorer on the basketball team with 14.7 points per game.
In the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, Kidd was the league’s No. 3 scorer, but he said there’s more about his game that he needs to display in order to attract NBA eyes.
Kidd, who made a verbal commitment to Colorado State in the Mountain West Conference, said it is not a matter of him being too big for the MEAC. It’s just that the MEAC, he said, isn’t big enough to offer the space he needs to routinely show NBA scouts what he could do for their teams.
Kidd played just one season at NCCU, arriving from South Plains College, a junior college in Texas. He has given credit to NCCU reserve forward Karamo “K.J.” Jawara for helping him adjust to Division I basketball in Coach LeVelle Moton’s system. Kidd said Moton taught him to be more vocal on the court, but he needs more.
