www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOpjL8UaTAYou can watch from the beginning but he doesn't start. He is 23 in black. First Half recap First touch he turns it over and it takes him a while to get in the flow. During his first time on the floor he gets a few rebounds and nice put back and draws a few fouls but his teammates can't get him the ball. He does have a great recover block shot and overall plays pretty good defense (he has a foul or two). The announcers also talk a lot about him (both times he is on the floor) Second time on the floor is even better despite coming up short on a mid-range jumper. He does a great job of setting screens and slipping to the basket or just getting int he lane and just creating space (guys still can't get him the ball) but he shows a few very nice passes and has a vintage Ledee drive from the 3 point line for the and-1. He is 2-3 from FTs and I think they said he led his team in scoring in the first half.

Third time on the floor (second half) was little bit of good and bad (1-4, missed 3 other two missed contested near basket) but played good defense with another block (guarding 1-on-1 on a drive that started at 3 point line) and draws a couple more fouls. They were talking a lot about him include the the 'sideline' reporter talking about her interview with him and how he is all business.

In this 4th time on the floor he looked good. Boogie Ellis was in his group and did a lot of scoring but did have a great pass inside to Ledee which was the first of two makes for Jaedon. The second was a long 2 point jumper so he was 2-2 in that segment. Play some good one on one defense as well. He finished with 14/6 and was actually the postgame interview as his team won.

Really, really hope he gets the call up to next week’s camp, another strong performance tomorrow is a must. Hope he maybe gets the start tomorrow, but the West Virginia kid played well at the 5 today too.

I was able to watch. All in all a good showing. I was a little concerned when he didn’t start, ended up playing decent mins. I would’ve liked to see him hit a couple outside shots as that’s going to be needed to be consistent if he goes to the league. Couple really nice blocks though did get some shots made over him when he switched outside. If his teammates were really looking for him I think he could’ve scored 20+. He was posting guys deep down low just like he did as an Aztec. Did great cleaning up the glass.
The announcers during second half talked about him for 5+ minutes, longer than any other player I noticed. They both agreed he seems worthy to get an NBA combine invite. The sideline announcer mentioned Ledee is in is own category as far as build/physique.

I guarantee an invite. The question is whether he can make a team. I think he can. I think he would make a team if he was 22 years old. His play is good enough to enter the league but he will be 25 years old by next nba season. Most nba 25 year olds are at a minimum 3rd season. |

He may not get drafted because of his age but I am sure he will get picked up. Might be best for him to not get drafted if he were to be picked in the 2nd round. That way he could chose the best team and situation for him.

If he doesn't make the NBA, he can always go do an Antonio Gates in the NFL.

He didn't start game two but has some nice minutes when he came in. Misses his first shot (long 2) but was able to show his ballhandling with a coast to coast drive for a shot and then got deep in the post and scored with a jump hook over taller defender. Also had a nice deflection in the lane that lead to a steal

For what's it worth, he has also been once of the guys cheering the loudest for his teammates when he is on the bench.

He didn't play again in the first half so hopefully he starts the second half.

5 call ups announced thus far, unfortunately LeDee hasn’t be one of them, which is crazy to me. 1 or 2 more maybe, fingers crossed.

Hard to understand unless they think they already know his game. I think not getting drafted could be best too if he can get a legit shot with an organization he sees a good opportunity.

ESPN's latest Mock Draft has Keshad @ #45, who's 22.8 years old. Out of the possible 58 pics in the 2 rounds, there are only 5 guys 23 years-old and only one at exactly 24. LeDee won't be drafted but he'll sign with someone in the NBA as a FA. He'll get a shot on some team's Summer League squad. It will be up to him to do something with it. I think he'll be fine.
