Highlight Reel
About Kyle de Haas
Kyle de Haas, a 5’10” left-handed Point/Shooting Guard with a 6’2” wingspan, competing at the highest U19 level in the Netherlands, is a defense-minded and dynamic player who thrives on speed, intensity, and leadership on both ends of the floor. He is a vocal presence and often acts as an extension of the coaching staff on the court.
On offense, Kyle is an aggressive driver who isn’t afraid to attack the basket with contact, often finishing strong around the rim. He effectively uses pick-and-roll actions to create midrange jumpers, a shot that has become a reliable part of his arsenal. His three-point shooting adds an extra dimension to his scoring ability, as he shoots 40.5% from beyond the arc. In one-on-one situations, Kyle’s quick first step and speed give him a clear advantage, especially going to his left. Without the ball, he moves with purpose—setting solid screens, communicating, and finding good spacing to help teammates and create scoring opportunities for himself.
Defensively, Kyle excels in on-ball pressure and is frequently trusted with full-court press assignments. His quickness and footwork allow him to stay in front of his man and disrupt offensive flow. Off the ball, he consistently shrinks the court, anticipates passes, and leads by example by cutting off driving lanes and organizing team defense. His intensity, focus, and communication make him a reliable defensive presence and a tone-setter for his team.
In transition, Kyle is a decisive playmaker who pushes the pace confidently with the ball and is often the first to sprint down court without it. His ability to read the game and make smart choices under pressure reflects a mature and steadily growing basketball IQ.
Academically, Kyle is preparing for a move to the U.S. in Fall 2027, aiming to continue both his basketball and educational development. His dedication, defensive mindset, leadership qualities, and speed make him a strong fit for Post-Grad and College programs seeking a committed and coachable guard who positively impacts winning.
