yep, [URL='http://www.kenpom.com/player.php?p=21300']by the numbers Keene is great[/URL]:  82% from the line, 53% from 2 and 39% from 3; top 40 in the nation in assist rate, top ten in percent of minutes played.  But, as you noted, undersized for the zone.

There are a lot of small guards in the 4 year junior category this year.  Marquette has [URL='http://www.kenpom.com/player.php?p=20065']Andrew Rowsey[/URL], a terrific 4th year junior playing point while shooting 62% from 2, 47% from 3 and 95% from the line.  He's undersized for the zone at 5-10 but I highly doubt he'd leave Marquette after a single season anyway.

[URL='http://www.kenpom.com/player.php?p=19502']Jaaron Simmons[/URL], 6-1 PG at Ohio University.  15th in the nation in assist rate, but only  shooting 28% from 3 (although last year, for the full season, he shot 42% from deep).

[URL='http://www.kenpom.com/player.php?p=21171']Jahmel Taylor[/URL] is a 6-0 guard at Fresno State.  Shooting 48% from three, but on paper it looks like he's a pure shooting guard, not a point or even a combo.  Out of Los Angeles and played as a freshman at Washington, it would probably be hard to get him to come east in any case.

as before, all the links go to KenPom & you have to be logged in there for them to work
