Three-point champion and MVP? I'll accept it.

Keaton may not have the run-jump athleticism of a typical top 6 pick, but his feel for the game is extraordinary and he's an excellent shooter. My comparison (obviously generous) is Seth Curry. Super skilled, smart and poised.
More like a cross between Stef and this guy…

We'rre gonna love Coleman and Vaaks. Both have great length and are dangerous shooters from deep. That should really stretch any defense.

not gonna lie, I really wanted Blackwell. upon further review, that "loss" may end up as a win. loving what Coleman brings. he's gonna be a problem straight out of the box. give him all the minutes, you don't put the reins on a thoroughbred. it starts in ~5 weeks. can't wait

Not saying this in any recency type of way but it's uncanny how much his play resembles Wagler. The smooth shot, stepbacks, etc. Seems to be a bit more explosive though a tad shorter. Maybe an even more dangerous scoring threat. I agree with the minutes as well. The rest can be allocated between Vaaks, Mirk, Stojakovic and Morillo but I'd like to see a veteran or experienced player in the rotation as well.

Coleman is going to be so good out the jump considering his play now, but especially when you take into account he'll be on the Fletch program for a few months before the season starts. As we've seen, it's elite.


Think Coleman can average 15-20+ points next season.
