Would be great to see him playing in the EuroLeague, and was excited about this until I clicked the link. This article is from 2023. It references his stats from the team he was playing for before he transferred to Zenit.

I am surprised EuroLeague teams haven't tried to pry him away. He's been good for Zenit. Get our guy out of Russia!

Is Coleman Hawkins injured? I've been checking box scores and he hasn't gotten any run in summer league for the Nuggets.

Go to clippers subreddit and read some of the dumbest takes you've ever seen about Keatons game. It's entertaining

Honestly, it makes me sad.

He's done so much hard work and has had such high character to get to this point. Really unsure of what he's done to deserve people talking about him like that.

Do I think he can handle it? Absolutely. But it just shows how brutal and unhinged the Internet can be about these athletes -- just from an observer's standpoint (can't even imagine what they themselves go through).

The guy, literally, hasn't even played an NBA game yet.

All the keyboard warriors on the Clippers sub didn’t banks 8 digits post-tax before they can legally drink.

Keaton gets paid $5M/yr post tax for two years to build the foundation for a long and productive career in the NBA or elsewhere.

A lot of those Clippers fans hadn’t seen Keaton play until Summer League Game 1

Keaton shooting tonight. 13 in the first half, and he is getting by his man.
