So on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give kelm a 9 and anderson 6.
Down in Madison though Kelm did play poorly. He really relies on his three point shot and it just wasn't falling. Anderson did okay at state.

I have seen Anderson play and thought he was a plodder. He needs to develop his footwork substantially to be any kind of factor on the offensive end. By the time he can get his body squared to the hoop, there is a defender in position for an alter. Defensively is where he may make his mark with the Badgers, or somewhere else. He'll probably end up on Wisconsin. For the most part I think he was offered early because of his unusual height for his age, hoping he would progress when he got more used to his body, but that hasn't quite come to fruition yet.
I haven't seen Kelm play, but supposedly he has a long way to go also. Hitting 8 3's is impressive, but I don't have an affinity for taller guys who play on the perimeter. You need post play from 4's and 5's for proper spacing. Also, when bigs are perimeter oriented, they tend to be very streaky. There are a lot more moving parts involved than a smaller player.
There still only sophomores though. Flavien Davis is by far the best sophomore prospect in Wisconsin, IMO.
