RANDOLPH vs ELEVA-STRUM (03/07/08 at Kohl Center - Madison, Wisconsin)
Kelm's line: 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 5 TO and 1-7 from three in 30 minutes
From what I saw in his only game here at state, Kelm has a long way to go. While Evan Anderson is a back to the basket post at 6'11" and solid, Kelm is more like a wing at 6'9" and has more of a slight build. He didn't show much of a post game (relative to Anderson at least), and his shot wasn't falling from the outside, but he still finished 5-13 from the field. He also seemed kind of awkward with the ball, which the 5 TO illustrate. Anderson's coach described him as being a 4 out of 10 on the development scale, and by comparison I'd say Kelm is about a 2. He's really raw. But maybe he just had a bad game, it's hard to evaluate someone fairly after only seeing them once.
Bonus:
-I was actually more impressed with Tyler Tillema (younger brother of UWGB's Ryan) than with anyone else on Randolph. He had a pretty good game.
-During the game I wondered what kind of damage Stiemsma would be able to do at the D-IV level. Turns out he went 26-0 to win the state championship his senior year. Sounds about right.
