2016/17 Senior Tribute
ALVARO KINARD
There was never a dull moment with this mercurial wing from NYC. Alvaro was the Patriot League Freshman of the Year. He also nearly played himself out of the rotation more than once. And he ended his career as an All-Conference player, displaying once again the form he'd shown as a first year.

All Player of the Game: 8
2012 High School: Rated *** and #443 overall by the FBCB scouting service.
2013 Freshman All-Conference (Patriot League)
2013 Conference Freshman of the Year (Patriot League)
2016 1st Team All-Conference (Patriot League)
AK was two players in one.
Good Alvaro could beat a team in myriad ways. His smooth jumper was accurate to well past the three-point arc. He could bring the crowd to its feet with a social media-worthy dunk. He applied himself to the task of rebounding, and his long arms enabled him to disrupt passing lanes almost at will.
Bad Alvaro could play 30 minutes of basketball without anyone noticing he was in the game. He wandered around on offense, rarely touching the ball. He fouled the player he was guarding and fired up opponents by trash-talking them.
Kinard could stay in each persona for games at a time, but when several
Bad Alvaro performances in a row had me on the verge of burying him on the depth chart,
Good Alvaro would re-emerge and boss an important game.
We got more
Good Alvaro this season than ever before, so he capped his Lafayette career with a spot on the Patriot League's All-Conference first team. The teams for which Alvaro played compiled a 108-26 record. That's a winning percentage of .857. That'll do.
Alvaro graduates next month with a degree in psychology. He'll pursue graduate work and hopes to work as a school counselor.
Thanks for the memories, Alvaro.
