Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

The only knock against Van Horn’s offensive game is a slight one: He is an ordinary passer. "It’s the main reason why the Larry Bird comparisons are inaccurate, as well as being premature," says his college coach, Rick Majerus, for whom Van Horn averaged 22.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game as a senior. "He’s not a great passer, partly because we didn’t ask him to do it very much at Utah. Keith can’t pass the way Bird did, but I don’t know if Bird could run the floor the way Keith does. The main thing is that Keith is so versatile. If you put a big guy on him, he’s going to go outside and knock down the shot. If you put a small guy on him, he’s going to take him into the low post and abuse him.

I think the Bird comparisons were more race related

Van Horn did have a very good offensive game, but I never really saw much similarity in their games.

He got a big payday later in life!

One more ping pong ball and they could have had Duncan….
