Utah’s college basketball scene is abuzz with anticipation as BYU’s head coach Kevin Young speaks about a young forward whose recent workouts have caught the eye of NBA scouts.
Showcase that turned heads
At a recent G‑League exhibition, Keba Keita delivered a 19‑point, 10‑rebound performance that underscored his athleticism and defensive instincts, drawing praise from personnel across the league.
Coach Kevin Young highlighted the positive feedback, noting that NBA staff have been discussing Keita’s strong pre‑draft workouts and his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor.
The forward’s junior season at BYU was marked by injuries and a role change that limited his visibility, but the showcase has begun to restore his profile among scouts.
What’s next for Keita?
The coming weeks will be pivotal as Keita evaluates potential suitors, weighing options in the G‑League and the NBA, while his coach remains confident that the upward trajectory will continue.
The program, branded as BYU basketball, continues to develop talent, and its recent focus on player development may further amplify Keita’s prospects.
