Scouting Report
| Keels averaged 11.5 points per game, though he was hindered by a midseason lower-leg injury that caused him to miss three games. |
| He appeared to be an ideal complement to standout Paolo Banchero when the season began, though his production wavered after the injury. He began the season with 25 points and later matched that at Clemson and exceeded it with 27 points at Pittsburgh. |
| He was considered a sure-thing pro prospect coming out of high school and at times his stock appeared to be on the rise and then it might have tapered at times. |
| Strengths: His ability to withstand contact should continue to be an asset because he has good upper-body strength (perhaps something overlooked at times when alongside Duke teammate AJ Griffin). At 6-foot-5, he could play at the guard and even at small forward, so that could give teams some options if he's on the roster. He arrived in college with an aggressive knack and that could serve him well at the next level. He has a scorer's mentality that could bode well on the pro level. |
| Weaknesses: His free-throw percentage of 67 percent is reason for concern, particularly for a guard who could have his hands on the ball frequently. He didn't really turn into a playmaker at Duke and that was on a team that was willing to see who might best fill that role. He played in the backcourt at Duke with high school teammate Jeremy Roach, so perhaps he benefited from that familiarity and could be entering unknown territory as he moves on. While Keels had games with large production, there were other times he seemed to fade away and so consistency could be viewed as an issue that might need to be addressed. |
