veteran rim-protector with a bruiser’s frame and a low-usage, high-impact style
Sedee Keita brings a pro-ready body, physical defense, and shot-blocking value that can quietly swing a game; at South Carolina in the 2016-17 season he averaged 1.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks in 9.6 minutes, and at St. John’s in the 2018-19 season he played 22 games, made three starts, averaged 2.1 points and 2.0 rebounds, and led the team with 20 blocks despite missing 11 games early with a knee injury. He’s best as a tough, screen-setting, paint-anchoring forward who does the dirty work—less flash, more glue—and that makes him a fit if you want defense, size, and maturity rather than scoring.
