Hoops player takes game to new heights despite missing arm KTVT DALLAS (KTVT) — Kellen Buffington is the organizer one of the biggest AAU tournaments the North Texas area has seen in a while, with 189 teams from all over the nation having come to play. In addition, his job is to evaluate the talent for some of the biggest programs in the country. Kellen Buffington says, “Ultimately it’s a lot of work and if you’re not one of the top 25 to 50 players in the country… we need to identify you and spread the word to these coaches about who you are as a player and a person, so they can make a decision about whether they want to recruit you and invest in you.”
