I'm asking the basketball experts on the board. He can shoot lights out when he's on and is very quick. Any chance he can convert to a PG or see playing time as an undersized SG in the next level. I'm no expert but he reminds me a lot of marcus thornton. Big win tonight!

He can definitely play overseas. Might be a good role player off the bench if he catches on with the right team here that moves the ball around a lot creating open shots outside--Spurs, Golden State, etc.
Hell of a player. One of my favorite Tigers.

He might get a sniff in the nba because he can shoot. His defense Is iffy but he plays with effort. He will make a lot of money playing overseas tho.

I think he will make it. He's a baller and if he can shoot in the pros like he has been this season he'll be all right. I like his game. Weird shot w great results.

At his height, he has to be able to play point in the NBA. I haven't seen him show he can do that. Maybe he can, it hasn't been asked of him, but there aren't many 6'4" pure two guards anymore

I think he could be a spot player off the bench for a team with a good system and coach like San Antonio.

One of my favorite all time Tigers.
Kid is all heart
Out works everyone on the court
Incredible athlete for his size
A great ambassador for the program
But as I kindly explained to my old lady this evening, the NBA isn't his future. NBA point guards are some of the best athletes in the world. Keith doesn't have the size or the athleticism to see a NBA roster unfortunately. He'll have a degree from LSU and will be a good role player overseas if he continues his basketball career.

He's a senior. What a weird way to word this question.

As much as I would love for him to make in the NBA, I just don't see it happening. He can shoot, but he will be a huge liability on the defensive end.
Should have a nice long career overseas though. He's a great Tiger

No chance. Love him but doesn't have the body.

he wouldnt convert to PG but has decent size to play SG in the NBA. Current mock drafts don't have him being drafted so if he makes a team it will be as a free agent. He can make a nice living playing overseas if he can't catch on w/ an NBA team.

NBA will trade him to Australia for a case of XXXX and Ben Simmons.

I think people just think that because he is white. He has won the team dunk contest 2 years in a row. He is one of the fastest guys on the team.
Unfortunately I do not think he has the handles to play point in the NBA. He is just not very smooth looking off the dribble.

He has a good shot to make it... if he wants it.
Posted on 1/6/16 at 1:34 am to ellishughtiger
The form on his shot will hurt him with NBA scouts.

I don't think he's athletic enough to get his shot off consistently in the NBA he's a baller and it sucks--I think if he were 6'6" instead of 6'3, he'd probably have an 8-10 year NBA career--but those dudes are just too long.
They also have long wingspans.
