Keaton Cole brings spacing, shot-making, and veteran guard craft to Western Carolina
Keaton Cole profiles as a compact, efficient perimeter guard whose biggest value is his proven shooting touch and reliable offensive feel: in his Western Carolina career, he finished with 831 points and shot 38.8% from three, while ESPN lists him at 6.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game in his career.[3][4][8] He also has a clear ceiling for timely scoring bursts, including a 28-point, 3-rebound, 2-steal outing in a win over Samford, which points to a guard who can create momentum rather than just survive possessions.[1]
