Kenny Hutchinson (born December 13, 1963) is an American former basketball player.[1] He emerged as a top college prospect while playing basketball in New York City at Benjamin Franklin High School and Martin Luther King Jr. High School.[2] While playing at Franklin, Hutchinson was part of a star line-up alongside Richie Adams, Gary Springer and Walter Berry.[3] He won a state championship in 1982 before the school closed down that same year.[4] Hutchinson transferred to King for his final year, where he was named a second-team Parade All-American in 1983. During his high school years, he was an avid streetball basketball player at Rucker Park participating in the Entertainer's Basketball Classic.[5]
Hutchinson was recruited by the defending NCAA champions NC State, but he elected to enrol at the University of Arkansas to play for the Razorbacks.[6] Hutchinson did not originally qualify for a scholarship but eventually made the team in 1984.[7] Though naturally a point guard, Hutchinson played as a shooting guard at Arkansas.[8] Cocaine abuse cut down his time as a player as he tested positive for the drug twice during his time at the school.[4] Hutchinson was a walk-on during his redshirt junior season in 1986–87. He was not selected in the 1987 NBA draft.
