Free Keanu

Coaches are working with him for as many as four hours a day. We see him for one hour twice a week. I get it, his results in a game are very good, but we don’t know the details. Let the coaches coach. They might make him an even better player.

Pettiness? Do you see the irony in your post.

Love it. Great stats. Thank you. He’s only a sophomore by the way. Let’s hope he not only continues to progress but stays with the program. If he’s really this good and doesn’t get the minutes or money he wants he’ll be gone. Such is the new landscape of college basketball. So yeah, given there are no guarantees, we need to utilize him as much as we can while we have him!

And it would sure be nice to get a win on Saturday versus the TDS.

I love him in the 6th man role. Come off the bench and take as many shots as he wants against the oppositions second stringers. Not a bad gig.

Interestingly my impression of him is that he has a lot of turnovers, but the stats disagree. Stats say he is averaging 1 per game give or take. I wonder if that’s because they don’t consider it a turnover if you lose the ball going to the hole. It seems like at least 2 to 3 times per game, he goes hard to the basket and just loses the handle. Regardless, the stats look quite good other than his 3pt percentage, so hard to argue he shouldn’t be playing. His BPM is an eye popping 8.0, which is 0.2 off the highest which is Lawson.

In that same vein, Jake (50% from floor, 40% from 3, 5.8 BPM) seems to be emerging as one of the better complete players on our team. And Mongo Mike also is playing really well. So questions need to be asked, if these guys are now emerging, why were they not playing a lot more early in the year so they could develop. There are others (including Miro and Lohner) that have consumed a lot of PT and frankly don’t seem to be improving and making a difference.

By the numbers, 4 of our starting 5 should be Mongo, Lawson, Keanue, and Jake. The last spot is a toss up, but by the numbers you could make an argument for Mason over Gabe. But it’s def not Hunter or Miro. Side note, and very interesting that Ezra’s BPM is -0.2.
