An observation from the OU-KU game

[SoonerTraveler]

My seats are 6 rows up from the floor at the southwest corner of the LNC. OKC Thunder coach Scott Brooks was sitting at a seat along the baseline, very near where I sit. During the game, Coach Brooks referred to his game program two different times (that I saw) to look up a player after that player made impressively athletic defensive plays at the south end. In one instance the player leaped up to intercept an attempted pass over his head into the post. In the other instance, there was a scramble for a loose ball by 3 or 4 players, and the ball just seemed to stick into a player’s hands as he came up with the loose ball. Both times, that player was Khadeen Lattin.

The potential is there, and basketball people like Scott Brooks can see it.

Interesting! I'm not surprised, though. Khadeem has such a huge upside, Scott Brooks is not the only basketball expert he will attract to the LNC in the years to come. He has a lot to learn before he'll be ready for the NBA. But he definitely has the potential.
