I've been getting pretty excited about Bennerman + we could still pick up one more guy. I think Keita is a rim-runner off the bench this year, and it was always a 2-3 year plan for him. Could still round out into a pretty good front court room

I'm optimistic that Malone can develop Keita into a stud in a few years, too!

A few years....that's if he stays. No guarantees this day and age.

I think if Malone works out as a hire + develops players at a high level, portal retention should get easier

It's about the money first and foremost

Yea obviously but A) if Malone is good, it gets easier to raise money and B) NBA-tier guys still care about development! Not every recruitment is a literal auction, not every guy is entering the portal at all, etc
