I would sign him after the draft strictly because of how much heart this kid has and plays with. He has what no coach can teach and his work ethic is of the charts.

Listen I love Keith and I hear what you are saying about his heart but let's be honest. The kid does not have a single NBA level skill. The one skill that he is great at, 3-point shooting, he has a major flaw with, his delivery. Heck even Riley Norris from Alabama is a better shooter than him. The way coaches and GM's get fired in the NBA, no one is going to remotely take a chance on him. It's a business after-all.

But on the other hand, the Keith Hornsby's of the world are the reasons I will always love college sports over professional sports. Keith is limited but he lays it all on the line for LSU every time he steps on the floor. While having someone like Ben is great and fun to watch, I will always love the Keith Hornsbys and Andre Stringers more. Those four year guys that love the game and the school make the season tickets worth the cost.

He's not, He jokes that those genes passed him by.

I had some scouts sitting next to me last season (they were there to look at Mickey/Martin), but commented that Hornsby will have to fix his release b/c a lot of teams will be turned off by his weird shot. one of the guys said it works for him at this level but it won't at the next. (I assumed he was meaning the NBA next level.)

He will play over seas and gain lots of knowledge and end up as an assistant coach on the LSU staff with Tasmin Mitchell. Garrett Temple will be the head coach

Also with Hornsby coaching, our players will finally make free throws.
Let's see, any coach who knows the secret to shooting free throws. Player - Coach what's the secret to making free throws? Coach - You shoot the ball in the hole from 15 feet and no one is trying to block you.

Seriously what is there to teach? Probably a dozen video's online showing proper form and telling you to relax, use your legs and aim for a spot just past the front rim. Put a little arc in it and you have it.

Players miss because they think too much and it becomes a mental thing. Practice, practice, practice until it becomes automatic muscle memory. Watch Chris Jackson shoot free throws.
