NC State needs shooters. Kevin Keatts likes tall, versatile wings. Akron’s Ali Ali is a 40% shooter from beyond the arc. Ali is also 6’8.
Seems like a match made in heaven, right?
There is still a lot we don’t know about next year’s roster, but one thing is for sure, Jericole Hellems won’t be returning. That means there is a gaping hole on the wing. It looks like Keatts is going to try to fill that slot with another shooter, but one with a little more height. We say that because news just broke that he’s been in contact with the Akron forward.
