What is the last book Kodi read? That and more HERE...
--CLICK HERE FOR A DECEMBER 5, 2014, FEATURE STORY...
--Big fan of Pete Maravich and has been nicknamed Pistol.
--Kodi referees youth basketball when he isn’t in the Weatherup Center practicing. Is he any good? We asked the Mayor of Phoenix.
Kodi's refereeing was perfect today (except for the 2 fouls he called on my son, #30).
— Greg Stanton (@MayorStanton) September 23, 2017
--Kodi never flinched in 2016-17 when he had to play out-of-position and sometimes guard 6-10 players in the post. Should return to the backcourt this year on both ends of the floor.
--The 6-5 local product guard has a great outside shot and attacks the basket with both hands. Has a great feel for the game. Was on his way to solid freshman season when a foot injury ended his season one game after he posted a season-high 16 points.
--Committed to the Sun Devils in September of 2011, and said this: "I always wanted to play in front of my friends and family. This is just where I've always wanted to go."
