His HS team plays on a national circuit against the best players in the country as well. I believe I saw they play on espn2 or U next Thursday in the "national championship" tournament

I just want everyone to know the definition of the word fun
I agree with the Gilbert comp given the defense, quick hands, strength on the drive and finish, and unfortunately the lack of a natural shooting touch. While I think Toure seems like he has more athletic explosiveness, I'd actually say that KG has better balance on jumper. I'm guessing that will be an area of focus this Summer.
On that note; I've shared this in another thread but I stumbled upon the vid below trying to find more on Toure.
The work is getting put in at the very least! I cannot for the life of me find season long #s on his shooting but a scout posted like 47% from three for him which feels higher than I'd have guessed based on the fluidity which still doesn't quite seem there. If it works, though, it works.
His athletic traits and willingness to get after it defensively are huge for earning PT, if he actually can shoot the ball, too, he's going to be hard to keep off the court.
Just occurred to me: Maybe he's a Rajon Rondo comp? (I'm not saying he'll play 12 years in the NBA, just making the comp on athleticism, defense, and an awkward looking shot)
Good point re: the jumper, he tends to drift instead of going straight up which leads to inconsistency. I’m sure the staff will work with him on that.
He is not as effective defensively at the 5, unless opponent is also going small. He is better against a 4 on offense also because he like to "push" people inside. Let's Milan be a three where his size helps him.

Actually, was just moved to what seems to be 5pm central. Check your local listing
Toure does not start or has yet to see action. I know he plays for a good HS program but what's the story here?
They just said he's out the rest of the year with an injury :/
Commentators said Toure is injured - “[Brewster is missing their best on-ball defender, Iowa State commit Killyan Toure, due to knee injury]”
Good for him, really. Read (or heard?) that he has a ton of family in the Milwaukee area. As a Cyclone fan, I won't blame him for that decision.
Better now than next fall, say, in late October?
