Looking Forward
Kessler is a monster defensively. He is recording Triple-Doubles with points, rebounds, and blocks. He isn’t an offensive savant, but he is very effective around the hoop due to sheer size and strength. I’m a little worried about his ability to stay in front of NBA guards but he is doing well in the athletic South Eastern Conference. His shooting form isn’t pretty but there are instances where he gets it to fall. That would just be a luxury.
