I never thought kessens would be like that lol...I knew he wasn't a banger once I saw that two on two film and he was playing like a pg. Anyway I know they don't grow on trees but there has to be a big that does nothing but hustle and gets boards.

I knew he wasn't a banger, but being good on the boards doesn't mean you're a banger. Donta Hall is great on the boards, but is the furthest thing from a banger. Kessens averaged 9 boards a game as a freshman at Longwood and 3 years later he's averaging 2 boards less in similar minutes. Plus the way a player plays 2 on 2 shows nothing of what he'd look like in organized basketball. The film I watched of Longwood University game highlights was much more promising.
