About Keaton
Expert Analysis
Eric Wallace | Prep Hoops Scout
The Fannin County big man put together a strong season, earning First Team All-Region honors while continuing to elevate his stock. He has good strength, rebounds his area effectively, and shows soft touch around the paint. He’s also capable of putting it on the floor in straight lines from the perimeter and is a capable passer which adds to his offensive versatility. With a high basketball IQ and steady production, he looks poised for a good offseason with Georgia Legacy.

Physical big-body post has an old school feel with a new school skill set. Extremely patient in the pivot with his back to the basket, utilizing up-and-unders and multiple moves before scoring. Finishes with both hands and has a trusty hook in his back pocket. Will attack from the wing, backing down his man with spins before scoring up close. Understands how to use his frame and size advantage as he is good at playing through contact. Likes to shoot the straightaway three. Nailed a handful of triples throughout camp. Highly effective in the pick-and-roll as both a roller and a popper. Reliable one-on-one post defender who walls up and blocks shots without fouling or needing to jump much.

Strong wide-body post understands how to use his frame to his advantage. Scores with drop steps and hook shots. When fouled, Watkins has a soft touch from the foul line. Although he may not look like an explosive vertical leaper, Keaton is a very effective rim protector with his shot blocking ability. Sneaky good prospect could become a trendy prospect for D-III and potentially D-II programs moving forward.

I liked what Keaton did inside for the Rebels . He is a no-frills big man that rebounds and protects the rim. The big body post collected 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks. He did well walling up to alter shots. Watkins showed a soft touch at the line going 6-6.
