Known as a prolific three-point sniper, Konlan combines fearless aggression with incredible speed and crafty playmaking. Thriving in transition, he easily slices through defenses and finishes strong at the rim. Konlan is not just a scoring threat but a master facilitator, controlling the game’s pace and dishing out precision dimes to elevate his team. With a high motor and solid defense, he’s the kind of player who impacts the game on both ends of the court.
Last season, Konlan showcased his skills with impressive averages of 18.5 points, 2.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game, amassing 427 points across 23 games. His efforts earned him All-Ohio Honorable Mention, 1st Team MVL honors (unanimously), and 1st Team District 12. This season, he has taken his game to another level, averaging 24 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals per game in the first 5. He’s shooting an outstanding 53% from the field, and a sizzling 41.7% from beyond the arc, and 81.48% from the free-throw line—a testament to his relentless focus on improving his weaknesses.
Konlan’s ultimate goal this season is a deep postseason run, especially with OHSAA’s move to seven divisions in basketball. He’s eager to lead his team to the tournament and hopes to play at Ohio University’s Convocation Center (the Convo). Fueled by the energy of high-stakes, close games, Konlan thrives under pressure, keeping calm and embracing a “next play” mindset even in adversity.
Konlan enjoys hitting the gym and being the lifeguard off the court during the summer. As he looks to the future, he’s focused on continuing his basketball journey at the collegiate level. With an offer from Muskingum University and visits to Waynesburg University and Franciscan University under his belt, he’s aiming to finalize his decision around March.
Konlan’s high motor, defensive intensity, and sharp shooting make him a force to be reckoned with. The numbers validate his readiness for the next level, and his unrelenting work ethic ensures his continued growth. Ohio basketball hits differently, and Konlan McIntyre leads the charge, putting on a clinic every time he steps on the court. Stay tuned—this is only the beginning.
