Christian Kessee brought instant shot-making and veteran lead-guard savvy to Memphis
In the 2016 season, Christian Kessee arrived at Memphis as a graduate transfer and immediate point-guard option after leading Coppin State in scoring at 14.6 points per game, with 88 three-pointers and a strong late-season shooting stretch from deep. He’s the kind of guard who helps if you need spacing, poise, and a ready-made scorer who can create off the bounce and from the arc. The bigger appeal is his experienced, plug-and-play feel: mature, productive, and able to give a roster immediate perimeter help without needing a long runway.
