Is this the original post being discussed? Clearly says: in one year.

Good catch. The way it was worded got me. I guess it means after one year of college.

But he had 6 years of college ball before the NBA. I was looking at how quickly Keaton went from an unknown to a top rookie. Most of the top draft choices have had a following for a number of years even going back to early high school even if they are one and done. How many one and done's were unknow coming out of high school and then became a top performing rookie in their first games? (At least the first 3 or 4 for Keaton. Let's hope he can keep it up)

NVM I read OP's post incorrectly. Yes, Keaton is most likely the most unheralded player to be a one and done, and have this immediate success.

He had significant issues with his grades and academics. Thus, he wasn’t able to participate in HS basketball or D1 college basketball.

It was only in April of 2023 that he became D1 eligible, after spending 3 years at Arizona Western Community College.

Oooof. Ant out for 2 months with a scoped knee.

But I'd imagine more minutes for Ayo and TSJ.

agree though they're already clocking solid time (26, 23 min respectively). id guess Ayo slots into starting role
