I mean he's playing the 2 and only the 2, most likely. He won't have to be THAT strong to do that. What he lacks in strength he makes up for in length and athleticism. People don't realize how athletic, and how dinamic of a scorer he is. If Tim Q. And Garrett Temple can start and not have bad problems with their strength/weight, then Tone will be ok. Hornsby probably starts at the beginning, but Tone most likely starts by mid season. Keith is a great shooter, hustles, and plays hard non stop, but he can be out of control when he dribbles and attacks the basket.

This is a good problem to have the talent to not know who will be our starters.

Also people need to watch Blakeny's documentary on youtube for sure.

Why doesn't anyone on this board use Tones work ethic to describe him?
They need to watch his videos. His work ethic is extremely impressive, especially for a high school athlete.

Good shooter, but a lot of what he was doing there he won't be able to do in college. Just as long as he hits that shot from outside. LSU this season with the exception of Hornsby sucked shooting from outside.

He's better than a good shooter, he can take you off the dribble and create his own shot.

It is a lot harder in college, but he's often playing other elite recruits. Theres video of him and Malik Newman going back and fourth. If he can knock down the 3 consistently, it will cause people to close out on him high and guard him tighter which will give him more of an opportunity to get the defender on his hip and hit that jump shot from the elbow.
