Kealen Ives is a steady, attack-minded guard with proven clutch juice for Rider
In the 2017-18 season, Kealen Washington-Ives gave Rider a dependable backcourt spark, appearing in all 32 games and averaging 3.1 points per game while knocking down 16 threes; earlier at Rider, he showed he can create offense, get into the lane, and help others, with coaches praising his ability to “get guys the ball” and noting he was “really coming into his own.” He’s a good fit if you want a low-drama, high-IQ guard who competes hard, handles pressure, and can heat up in short bursts, though he’s more craft and control than pure explosion.
