Tiwian Kendley, an explosive talent known for his scoring prowess, has signed with the Capital Seahawks, a new team in The Basketball League (TBL). Kendley brings a wealth of experience to the Seahawks, including time with the Washington Wizards and a standout college career at Morgan State University.
Kendley’s journey to professional basketball started with an impressive stint at Morgan State, where he became the fastest player in the school’s Division I history to reach 1,000 career points, averaging 26.1 points per game as a senior. His performances earned him recognition in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), with multiple Player of the Week honors and a place on the All-Tournament Team. After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft, Kendley joined the Washington Wizards’ Summer League squad, where his tenacity and skills earned him a spot on the Wizards’ G-League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go, scoring 11.7 points per game in 18 appearances. Kendley’s time with the Wizards also provided valuable mentorship from NBA stars like John Wall, whom Kendley described as a “big brother” figure.
Over the years, Kendley has played internationally, with stints in Mexico, Kosovo, and most recently with the Wisconsin Herd and South Bay Lakers in the NBA G-League. Now joining the Capital Seahawks, Kendley brings not only his on-court talent but also the resilience and life lessons gained from navigating the professional basketball landscape. His addition to the Seahawks is a promising development as the team seeks to establish itself within TBL
