Keyonte grabbed 88.7% of his rebound chances which was best out of all the players drafted in the first-round.

went safe with hendricks, went high ceiling, low floor with george. perfect pick, imo.
on another note, has anybody seen his measurements anywhere? Tony Jones says 6'8" span - wondering if that can be verified anywhere.

keyonte played injured most of the second half of the season. it was bad enough he could have sat out but he chose to play as he wanted to compete. the talent, size and skillset are very similar to murray.

This is my feeling as well. Hendricks was an easy pick and George is more of a swing for the fences type pick.
If he can play better defense and turn his tough shots into good passes he will be a great pickup, but from what I've heard from the Baylor crowd it's gonna take a year or two.
If you look at what Kevin said he dean matter to generate assists at a higher rate. Does that Chang your mind?
Keyonte was 10th on Utah’s big board.
It's hard to say. We will never see how Cam would develop here and most of these guys' chances of success and the players they turn into are shaped strongly by the situation they're drafted into.
If the character/mentality concerns are legit, I can see him struggling in Houston since that team is all youth and buckets, but no defense or wins.
