Tominaga testing NBA (1 Viewer)

I think this was the best-case scenario, assuming he does come back. Looking forward to seeing what he can do next season after the end to the season he had. He became a really efficient basketball player instead of the chucker we saw two seasons ago.

Zero shot he gets any real nba traction

He’s very likely back for one more year in Lincoln.

Whoever did this wins an award

Apparently anyone can test the NBA draft waters

He's got an outside shot at it. It's not likely, but a path exists

No offense, but have you been watching any of the playoff games? He would get eaten alive. Maybe if he had another 6" (don't we all). He's a great college player. Hopefully the B1G reverting back to the mean after a down year isn't a reality check.

I would say a pretty close comp is Duncan Robinson. Duncan might be a bit taller, but both have their limitations defensively. Duncan also is on a 90M contract, so yeah...

They're both excellent shooters and offer little defensively. Keisei's off the ball movement is also excellent.

So yes, @Baron Winnebago is correct in that a path exists.

Duncan Robinson is 6' 7".

Duncan Robinson is 6' 7".

He also can't defend. Great retort.

edit: did you just edit your first post to add that context? nice.

No that was legitimately in my initial post 😂. So therefore, yes I'd agree with you if Keisei was taller. But you can't just brush off a difference of 5" of height and call it a wash lol.

Heat gave him 5 years/$90m then realized this, gave him a bunch of DNPs this year and when he does play his minutes are way down

He's hardly played since The Bubble™. It wasn't just that he couldn't defend, he said it himself that he gained imposter syndrome after that and he then essentially lost all confidence on the offensive side of things. He was one of the better catch and shoot threats in the entire league leading up to The Bubble™

Oh yeah he definitely lost his shot as well, but when you're not shooting almost 50% from 3 anymore the defense becomes real obvious

Yes. I don't think he's a playoff player for the record but lots of guys who are on NBA rosters aren't playoff players.

Keisei has two high level skills that translate well to the NBA game, shooting and basketball IQ. When you're getting down into the 13, 14, 15 player on a roster, having a high level skill gives you a chance to be that guy. Keisei is small, he's going to be at best a minus defender in the NBA, but the one thing he has going for him on that end is he's active and seems to really give a shit, which works in his favor.

Now to be clear, I don't think it's a high probability path, the probability is quite low, but there are guys in those roster spots who have serious limitations to their game but are still on NBA rosters.

I don't do enough crack to think he's an 8 man playoff rotation player, but I dabble for the record
