Expert Analysis
Devin Record | Prep Hoops Scout
Keith is a 6’4″ guard who plays some of the best defense in the entire state. He always guards the opposing teams best player and does a great job at holding them to below their season averages. His offensive game is solid too as he can finish at the rim above opposing players utilizing his height.

The Sammamish senior started their game against Renton out a little slow but really got going in the third quarter, giving the Redhawks another playmaker in the halfcourt. Kariuki’s a tall guard with great physical tools and he showed how his combo of burst and length can put a lot of pressure on defenses. He was able to get downhill fast and has the ability to see over defenses so when that help defender steps up, he already knows where he is going with the ball. He made a few really slick passes off drives to the hoop and showed a lot more aggression in the second half. The tall point guard was also able to draw a good amount of fouls inside but it wasn’t enough as Sammamish fell 77-80. However, they rebounded last night with a win vs Port Angeles to ensure we’ll see more of Kariuki at the state tournament.

His offensive game is really about him using his size to create things from closer in. He’s been able to get to the middle of the defense and use his length to finish over and around defenders, but he’s also always got those eyes up and sees quick passes to cutters even when the defense is tight on him.

Kariuki’s looked really good this summer and should be one of the top guys for Sammamish this winter. He’s got the size and length to take advantage of smaller guards in the post, can defend bigger players down there too, and has the ability to create turnovers in the passing lanes out on the perimeter.
