Setting foot on soil in the state he played in collegiately had Trevor Keels nearly bubbling up.
“It’s definitely fun coming back to North Carolina,” said Keels, a Duke product who has spent the past few weeks testing the NBA waters. “I definitely got a little emotional. I haven’t been in North Carolina since I left, so I mean it was definitely fun working out with the home team. I am definitely excited I got the opportunity.”
Keels was among the six players who worked out for the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, the latest leading up to the NBA draft on June 23.
