It’s possible he had a very bad day at the combine, but his scores were among the worst in class for guards. He is only 18 and maybe there is room for upside growth. This is the Randle.

What he will do is body people while driving to the basket and post up a lot. That’s his game. It’s actually amazing he already has such a thick strong body at only 18

Love it
Off the bat, Keels’ best asset is his competitive fire and on-court desire. He was one of Duke’s most intense players and, according to Carrawell, has an extremely high basketball IQ. That manifests itself at both ends of the floor. martin wrote:Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

foot speed is a negative but his size/strenth is a positive. Kyle Lowry doesn't seem particularly fast (5)(5)

He was one of Duke’s most intense players and, according to Carrawell, has an extremely high basketball IQ. That manifests itself at both ends of the floor. Keels registered 13.5 percent body fat at the draft combine, the fourth highest of the 76 players there. “These guys come in, they’re 17, 18 years old, in college for the first time. No matter how much we talk to them about nutrition, things you gotta eat, they’re still college kids,” Carrawell said. “They’re going to still stay up late, they’re going to play video games, they’re going to hang out with their classmates, their teammates. He has the body type that you have to watch what you eat, make sure you’re putting in the work, which he does. But he’s still young. I didn’t pay attention to those things when I was 22. In time, once he learns, he can do it.” My only point in re-posting these quotes from the same article is to actually be supportive. The things that I am knocking him for are controllable and can be handled with a professional conditioning plan. A season in Westchester with the Knicks staff could turn this guy around. All of those issues at the combine (agility, etc) are correctable. His downside is readily apparent, but if he commits, he has the potential to add real value to his career. That's kind of the essence of a diamond in the rough. Finding guys that you know their weakness and can overcome it. This is the Randle.
