http://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article17096717.htmlI think that Kelly is a very intriguing prospect and if he slips in the draft, I think the C's should go after him.
Strengths
Good size for a wing with excellent size at 6'7" in shoes with a 7'1"/7'2" wingspan
Elite athleticism, quickness, explosiveness and first step
Very smooth shooting stroke
Defensive potential - great on-ball defender (very good steal and block rate for a wing due to length and quickness able to guard 3/4 positions)
Rebounding
Upside - only 19 years of age can fill out with 10-20 pounds
Weaknesses
Average feel for the game - could improve passing (1 ast in 20 mins)
Questionable Motor
Handle - It's good for straight line drives but average overall meaning that he struggles to create shots
Consistency
Awareness on D - Get caught ball watching and loose cutters sometimes
He reminds me of James Young (smooth lefty with athleticism even though Kelly is more athletic), Andrew Wiggins (both athletic players who struggle to create shots) and Paul George (similar freshman stats and size).
I think that Kelly will benefit in playing the NBA like Wiggins did and his potential is extremely high. High ceiling/low floor player and in the right system (like the Celtics), he could improve on his weaknesses.
Probable Scenario: Jeff Green with better rebounding and more versatility/Trevor Ariza
Worst Case Scenario: Corey Brewer/ Wesley Johnson with a better 3pt shot
Best Case Scenario: Paul George/Rudy Gay combination
