Looking at purely the +/- last night (which has its issues - agreed), but this should be the best way to quantify the impact they had on the game last night when they were in.
 
11-10 Syracuse (Rak exits, Keita enters) - 10 UConn Points
[B]Rak +1[/B]
22-21 Conneticut (Keita exits, Rak enters) - 12 UConn Points
[B]Keita -1[/B]
39-37 Conneticut (Rak exits, Keita enters) - 17 UConn Points
[B]Rak -1[/B]
57-48 Conneticut (Keita exits, Rak enters) - 18 UConn Points
[B]Keita -5[/B]
66-58 final (Rak finishes game) - 9 UConn Points
[B]Rak +2[/B]
 
 
Overall, Rak was +2 last night and Keita was -6.  
 
UConn scored 36 points in the 25 minutes Christmas played. (1.44 points per minute)  
UConn scored 30 points in the 15 minutes Keita played. (2 points per minute)
 
UConn overall shooting while players were in the game:
 
[B]With Christmas [/B](UConn 6 offensive rebounds)
Olander (2-3) - dunk, layup
Boatright (5-7, 4-4 3PA) - dunk
Calhoun (1-7, 0-2 3PA)
Napier (2-3, 0-1 3PA)
Daniels (1-4)
Giffey (0-1)
[B]Overall (11-25, 4-7 3PA) = 44 %, 2 point defense (7-18) = 39 %[/B]
 
[B]With Keita [/B](UConn 5 offensive rebounds)
Giffey (3-7, 1-1 3PA) - dunk
Evans (1-1)
Boatright (1-3)
Nolan (0-1)
Napier (1-3, 1-3 3PA)
Calhoun (3-4, 3-4 3PA)
Daniels (1-1) - layup
[B]Overall (10-20, 5-8 3PA) = 50 %, 2 point defense (5-12) = 42 %[/B]
 
Rak makes his mistakes, but he also makes up for mistakes with his blocks.  Did you know Keita didn't have a single defensive rebound last night?  In 15 minutes!
 
While they are both flawed options, Keita playing 15 minutes a night is not a solution for this team.
