Kelbel is a high IQ guard who ran with Wisconsin Playmakers over the summer. The 5’8 guard was very crafty with the ball in his hands. He possessed high level ball security, and kept defenders at distance on his hip. His movement off of the ball allowed for him to get some very clean looks at the basket from distance. Most impressive was his ability to space the floor overall on the offensive end.
