Living in Japan right now as an American, It's sooo great to see his energy on the court in America as a Japanese person. He looks like he was born there! Because I work with students here, it's somewhat shocking and so incredible to see how much an environment can allow somebody to adopt a totally different personality. Love to see him having fun.

@rekt3619 4 ай бұрын

To be honest with you the chance of him being drafted NBA is really really small. 6’2 with short wing span, no athleticism, barely 1 assist per game, defensively no-no etc. NBA changed dramatically teams wants more taller lankier players nowadays.

@wl6020 4 ай бұрын

@@rekt3619 also he will be old, this is his senior year in college. Nba teams dont want old rookies. Also he must learn how to play point guard - have the handles, speed, passing ability, IQ, flow of game to even be considered as a out of rotation point guard in the nba. His height is too small at shooting guard. He is not even a g league player, since most of the players went to a very decent d1 program.

NBAに通用するとは思っていなかった！ごめん、富永くん！ Initially, I didn't think he'd be NBA material, thought he would be a G Leaguer, or play professional league in Europe/Australia. But he was on a hot streak against my Hoosiers, and also playing well against Purdue in the upset. And should the Nebraska be able to get into the tourney, which they'd likely be, and regardless of how far Nebraska goes, he's gonna make case to be a legit draft pick. Not only having a range like Steph Curry, but compared to Yuta Watanabe and Rui Hachimura, Keisei has experience in playing in a tougher conference in Big Ten and playing with so much passion, and that could be a plus for him in the draft. Warriors, Sixers, Mavs seems to be a legit destination, though Hawks and Pacers making sense based on his play style.
