Kessler's an elite shot blocker-- one of the highest block rates in well over a decade of college ball. He's got good size. Certainly could be a rim-runner type guy, rim protector type guy.

He's just not fast enough to play all the time. Like, Duren and Williams are drop-coverage bigs, but they probably won't be massacred by every player that puts them on an island in space. Kessler would get massacred. So he's not a playoff player at all right now.

He *does* like to shoot 3s, and while he's not really making them or his FTs at a rate that gives me optimism, he did have a bit of that "I can shoot 3s" reputation out of high school. So maybe, if he can become a pick-and-pop guy, the lack of speed is less of a liability and he can play more. For now, he just screams 10-12 MPG/elite Survivor Fantasy League draft pick, lol.
