I don't know if Keegan will be a star at NBA level but he should have a long career more noteworty
than anyone else in last 40 years of Iowa B-ball. Too bad Garza didn't have more athleticism to have
more NBA potential.
 
IF KM15 can maintain the momentum from the b10 tourney an carry iowa to the sweet 16 or better and the draft order falls into place woth the right team, who says #1 over all ain’t part of the conversation for this ‘Silent assassin stone cold killer’

We all knew Luka had weaknesses heading into last year's draft.

Does Keegan have any weaknesses?

He is not much of a passer from what I’ve seen. He seems to get stripped driving the lane more than I would like but these two can problems can be solved. From the scouts I’ve seen His on ball defense vs quicker players needs work.

How sweet would that be if the Pistons took him at #4 so that he could be reunited with Luka. They would instantly be my favorite team.
