Sounds like interviews are randomly assigned by the NBA, not picked by teams
Keyonte looking fresh and bouncy. I think he's starting to become underrated. He had an ankle injury towards the end of his season that seemed to affect his production. I could see him getting picked ahead of Cason Wallace and possibly Gradey Dick depending on how things shake out. He's going to be able to score the ball and create for himself. He should be able to guard 1s. The only question is his ability to be efficient.

I think I saw one or two games of his in the NCAA tournament. I don't think I was very impressed, but I might be mistaking him for someone else... What type of player do you see him as at the next level?I think Keyonte is going to special. Right now he is number 1 on my board at 9.
Conversely (to Sidy), these dunks at least show some serious pop. He is getting close to eye-level in that first one. Shot is wet, movements are fluid, very confident with the ball and should be.
Keyonte jumps off the screen more than just about anyone. He might be in play at 9 for me if Hendricks/Whitmore aren’t there, tbh.
He didn't make shots... I think everyone kept thinking the percentages would get better. I could see him being the guy in the 10-14 range that ends up being the steal if he develops and is more of a scoring pg. Still intriguing but I think Bufkin has the momentum on him atm.Keyonte was a consensus top-10 pick for a long time. Not sure what happened there.

He sucked down the stretch and/but was some level of injured. Either way, the dude is obviously crazy talented and needs to reign in his shot selection.Keyonte was a consensus top-10 pick for a long time. Not sure what happened there.

yep. not only did he not get better, rather he just kept getting worse. hard to know how much of it is injury related. if you take keyonte, you take him based on what he showed in the first half the season and hope his horrible play in the last 1/3 of the season was either just a bad stretch/slump or directly related to his injury.He didn't make shots...

He had an ankle or foot injury that he was dealing with for the last month or so of the season but wanted to play through it and didn't look good at all. I think he can be the type of player Eric Gordon was starting to become his last year with the clips before the CP trade. I thought he was on his way to becoming a star but hurt his knee right away when he got to New Orleans and then kept getting dinged up non stop for the next 4 years. That 3rd year version of Eric Gordon though was really good.I think I saw one or two games of his in the NCAA tournament.

Not a rumor, he had to leave the Texas with an ankle injury. Whether it's a valid excuse for his poor finish? Honestly I don't care. If this struggle had happened in the middle of the season and he played well at the end instead no one would bat an eye. I do think he's a victim of recentcy bias. He may have deserved to drop a bit and maybe should not have been ranked top 8 all year, but sliding to 16 and beyond is too far of a drop.
He might have the most promising off the dribble 3 in the class, and that is THE premium skill for ball handlers. His playmaking might not be where you want it to be, especially as a lead guard, but to some extent the playmaking only matters if you can be a threat to the defense. If you can hit the pullup 3 the rest of the game gets so much easier. I will take the guy who can take and make the three off the dribble over the guy with better passing skills but can't shoot so the defense just goes under the pick.
And if he can't be a bit time shooter off the dribble.....he's a Malik Beasley? It's not the worst thing in the world.
