Coffee Talk Name that player!
I like the fact that Kittles stayed in college and played for four seasons at Villanova. Kerry has enough talent to be an NBA All-Star in the near future. I'm sure no one was more happy to see Kittles' name still on the board on NBA Draft day than Nets' new Head Coach John Calipari. Kittles influence could be felt immediately. Did you know? Kittles is a Eucharistic Minister in the Roman Catholic Church.
Perhaps the best all-around performer in professional basketball, Elgin handles himself with the dexterity and maneuverability of a small man. He is equally adept at bringing up the ball under the boards. He can shoot, rebound, pass, dribble and quarterback a club almost as well as any man alive. He has blistering speed, stamina, strength and tremendous spirit. It is difficult to say which is his best shot. He hooks from 20 feet out, drives for layups, jumps from the top of the key and hits with soft push shots from the corner. Here he hangs in mid-air as he gets off an under-the-basket shot with no one near him.
In the 1992 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks used the tenth overall pick to select Stanford's Adam Keefe, As a senior, Keefe averaged 25.3 points per game (finishing second in the Pac-10) and 12.2 rebounds per game (highest in the conference). The Hawks, needing strength around the basket to complement that of Dominique Wilkins and Kevin Willis, should receive power in the paint from Keefe. In 1991, he was named the NIT MVP after he led Stanford to the NIT title. In 1991-92, Keefe set school single-season records for both points (734) and rebounds (355). and he finished his collegiate career as the all-time Cardinal leader in field goal percentage (.600).
