The New York Knicks had a former draft pick make headlines this week for a mix of unusual reasons. Trevor Keels, the team's second-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, set a G-League single-game record in the last week. His 46-point performance on Friday was so impressive that it got him some praise from Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, who compared him to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
Keels' record night bodes well for his NBA future
The former Duke Blue Devil hasn't been part of the Knicks organization in several years. He had a stint with the Iowa Wolves before landing with the Miami Heat and, eventually, their G-League affiliate.
