Kyle Sawtell is a junior wing for the Men’s Basketball team. This week, we collaborated with Pacific Lutheran Athletics to begin a new feature spotlighting our student athletes. You asked the questions, and I sat down with Sawtell to bring you his answers.
MM: What is your favorite animal?
Kyle Sawtell: A tiger, because they are majestic animals.
MM: What is the most points you have scored in a game?
Sawtell: In high school I scored 33 points one game, and in college I scored 21.
MM: Who is your favorite basketball player to watch?
Sawtell: Probably Kevin Durant because he is very skilled. The stuff he does is amazing. When he’s on his game, no one can stop him.
MM: What do you like to do for fun?
Sawtell: I like to hang out with my friends and family, just relax to get my mind off school and basketball.
MM: What is your favorite color?

MM: What is your favorite card game?

Sawtell: My major is business. I am deciding on my emphasis, either marketing or accounting.
MM: What is your favorite class?
Sawtell: Right now, it is statistics.
MM: What do you enjoy most about Coach Dickerson’s style and philosophy?
Sawtell: Coach Dickerson is very passionate and he lets us have a little bit of freedom within our play. He is not always calling plays and structuring everything we do, he just lets us play.
