The CFCA basketball team has been competing at various events over the summer and piling up the wins as it goes along. Helping to lead the way has been newcomer De’Lazarus Keys. A 6-foot-8 transfer, Keys had 28 points and 10 rebounds in a win against The First Academy this summer and has shot a high percentage from beyond the arc all summer.
What’s your impression of how the summer season has gone?
I think it’s going good. The more we practice, I think by the time November comes, we’ll be fantastic.
Which win for the team this summer stands out the most?
I think the most impressive win was against The First Academy. We played like it was a championship game — we wanted to beat them. The past two years, playing for another school, they (TFA) always beat us and I’ve always wanted to beat them.
What are you working on for your game this summer?
My post game — trying to get around the basket more.
How has it been getting to play alongside CFCA’s top returning players: Dante Treacy and Jacob Newman?
It’s good. Dante is a great point guard who sees the floor and knows how to attack the rim. Jacob is a good shooter and a good defensive player.
Who is your favorite professional player?
Kevin Durant. He’s tall and he can put the ball on the floor and shoot. He can create (scoring opportunities) for his teammates. I want to be like him.
Before you settled on basketball, did you try any other sports?
In fifth grade I played baseball.
What’s the last movie you saw in theater?
“Ride Along 2.” It was funny — Kevin Hart was in it and Ice Cube and they’re funny together.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Paris — I’ve heard it’s called “the city of love” and it’s really nice.
What’s something a lot of people do not know about you?
I like to have fun and make jokes. Everyone thinks I’m serious.
