Oregon State’s shot-blocking wrecking ball with pro-ready rim protection
Kylor Kelley’s calling card is elite rim protection: in his 2019-20 senior season at Oregon State, he led the Beavers with 3.5 blocks per game and finished with 211 career blocks in two seasons, while still scoring efficiently at 11.1 points per game on 60.4% shooting. He’s the kind of frontcourt fit that changes game plans—long, physical, and built to erase mistakes at the rim. The caution flag is age and role: he’s a finished-product big who wins with defense, energy, and efficiency rather than shot creation.
