sketch 15/100

Well I'm Finally back to drawing these FBA Draft prospects, after a few nights of distractions. I hope to continue drawing more of them before my move, and if I'm lucky, I'll get to work on some during the trip. But I don't know how likely that is. All I can do is see how many I can get done before I leave though. Still got a ways to go. :P

Player Report

Projected: TOP 16

Though nowhere near one of the biggest guys on the court, Devon Kellendyne makes up for his size with quickness, both in body and mind. His basketball senses are outstanding and watching him play is like watching water run down a creek. He's so smooth and fluent with his actions on the court, and that is absolutely refreshing!

DK's personal life wasn't always as smooth as his game though. Although originally from the very liberal Bay Area, Kellendyne's freshman year was spent at a school in the much more conservative San Bernardino County, and his year there was marred by a campus scandal alleging his homosexuality. Hindered by the distractions and growing tired of the negativity over what would normally be considered a non-issue and no one else's business, he transferred away after the Spring of his first year, and his personal life has since then escaped any notice or attention. But that didn't stop his game from bringing him attention, and all the right kinds at that.

Kellendyne is quick and wiry, and uses that to his advantage. When necessary, he also likes to use his very long, ringed tail as a distraction, moving it back and forth in quick, sinuous motions in order to make it hard for defenders to keep an eye on the ball as he keeps it down low. As if he needed any help being hard to guard. His ball-handling skills are some of the best this draft class has to offer, and he could make many "And-1" street ballers drop their jaws in disbelief at what he can do with a basketball. Oh, and he doesn't turn the ball over much either, a great trait to have in a point guard, which makes potential coaches drool.

In addition to his dribbling skills, Devon is an excellent passer, setting up his teammates for easy buckets, be it in transition, alley-oops, or open shots. His passes are smart and on the money, though he does add a bit of dazzle to them every now and then. He also is one of the better ball thieves in the draft, racking up nearly 3 steals a game, which is good for 3rd overall in this draft class. He plays passing lanes very well, jumping out to snag cross court or lazy passes, and his fast paws (and tail) poke away their fair share of balls as well. Though he does gambles for these steals far too often, leaving his teammates to pick up the defensive slack.

Though he converts layups well at the basket and is a dependable shooter inside of 20 feet, DK really needs to learn to expand his range. Defenders leave him open on the perimeter daring him to shoot the long shot, and he has yet to really make them pay for it. Bulking up a bit might help him in his drives to the lane too.
