Even though I wanted Cam, I like George as a prospect. From all accounts he's a hard worker and has natural scoring instincts. I trust the Jazz staff to develop him since he has the good work ethic to benefit from it.
Jazz draft Keyonte George at 16
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date

He was the energizer bunny on both ends....but his batteries didn't have much charge. Hopefully he's in better shape.
That's the thing though... His efficiency is not god awful. It is below average, but his raw %s don't reflect his efficiency accurately, because a TON of his shots are 3s and in addition he goes to the line a ton. Just an example ... His TS% is almost identical to Mitchell's coming into the league - .524 vs .532

Was that game before or after he dropped a lot of weight and before or during his ankle injury? May have something to do with it.
I don't know exactly when the ankle injury happened (I think there were multiple?)....but this game was played in December early on in the year.

before the ankle injury but still kinda fat.
It was super fun to watch him compete on both ends....but yeah he looked super winded and it was a buzzkill. His conditioning was failing him more than anything.

The same could be said for virtually every 2 in the league.
Are we trying to make Keynote a nickname or was that a whoopsie?

Thanks. I guess that would be before injuries really started to bother him, but probably also before he had completely slimmed down to where he is now.
Did you just move the goalposts? Was your point about efficiency or athleticism?

He has lost 20 lbs since the season ended. Last year, he was fighting some injuries. The college game is so bad and it's hard to judge anything from that bush league. The dude is an alpha baller and he has the potential to be great. Jazz took a swing and I bet it pays off.
