Keifer Sykes is one of the most prolific players in Green Bay men's basketball history, leading one of the best runs the program has seen from 2011-15. He was a Bob Cousy Award finalist after a spectacular season in 2013-14, helping the Phoenix upset the Virginia Cavaliers (led by 2006 Green Bay Hall of Famer Tony Bennett) while being named Horizon League Player of the Year. Sykes finished his Phoenix career as one of just two players to ever eclipse the 2,000-point mark at 2,096, just under 200 points shy of the all-time leading scorer, Tony Bennett. Sykes also ranks in the top-10 in free throws made, assists, steals, and games played. After playing overseas from 2015-2020, Sykes joined the Indiana Pacers' G-League team in 2021 before being elevated to the professional team during the 2021-22 season.
