Expert Analysis
Kevin Daniels | Prep Hoops Scout
He used a shot fake and attacked the rim, then secured an offensive rebound in traffic and found a cutter for an easy layup. He provided solid post defense that led to a turnover, knocked down a spot‑up three from the left corner, and hit a baseline jumper. He later added another left corner catch and shoot three. Throughout the game, he continued to play hard regardless of the score.

Keiji has bounced around some schools but the talent always comes with him. He has good size with a really nice combination of a skillset. He can shoot itfrom beyond the arc or drive the ballno matter who’s guarding him big or small. A versatile player. Will use shot fakes and jab sets to create scoring opportunities for himself.

Clifton is a guard with impressive positional size, allowing him to see over defenders and make plays. He’s a skilled scorer who can shoot it from deep or attack closeouts with strong drives to the rim. His versatility as both a shooter and slasher makes him tough to contain. Clifton’s physical tools and offensive skill set give him real upside as a backcourt threat.

Has displayed the ability to be a playmaker. Does a lot of good things on the floor. Possesses a quick first step. Can get to the basket and finish. We have seen him draining threes from the corner off the catch with confidence.

Read EvaluationBrian Flinn | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-6 Kentucky transplant has led Forrest Hills with 18.7 points a game and is second in rebounding on the team. He also is arguably the team’s best shooter, hitting a shade over three a game (again-team leading). What does that all mean? That the sophomore forward has been highly productive this season. As the #5 seed,FH will have to get past an Epic South group that knocked off Cardinal Hayes last month- but this could be the start of Clifton’s coming out party

Keiji has impressed in a couple of viewings and looks the part of a potential sleeper in the class. He is skilled and has good positional size and has shown a good IQ for the game. There are times when his motor isn’t running full speed but he could grow out of that. Keep an eye on Clifton as a potential impact player in Louisville.
