Keifer Sykes is an undrafted rookie out of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Sykes is a two-time Horizon Player of the Year. He’s listed at 6-feet tall, but if you Google him, 5’11” pops up next to his name. The point is, he’s not tall. He is excited about the opportunity to play with LeBron James though. Via the Green Bay Press-Gazette:

"“No matter what happened on draft day, I was going to be a professional,” Sykes said. “To be a professional on a team with a player like LeBron, where they have a chance to go to the Finals, it was better than being picked. “I got the call to be on a team that is a couple steps away from winning a championship. … it was all surreal.”"

Sykes is averaging 9.4 points and shooting 51% from the field in Summer League.
