Keyonte George: Predict his season

All of those make perfect sense. That was back when it was still unclear if we were gonna tank or not. You really think Keyonte would be starting if we'd turned the season around and looked like a playoff team? HELL no.

Anyway, that's ancient history and we're obviously tanking, with a fire sale of players coming up.

Key may yet become a good player (and I hope he will) but right now he's one of the worst on the roster. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. And it's OK. I don't really get the mindset where there's a strong need to treat a rookie as a savior.

And even more so, this.

Some claim to see a playmaker in Keyonte. I don't. I think he's exactly in the same vein as Clarkson, THT and Sexton.

It's not enough to try a flashy pass now and then (all those guys can do it too). To be a playmaker is to see the game of basketball in a certain way. You treat the team as your tool.

Nothing I've ever seen from Keyonte leads me to believe he has a future as a starting PG in this league. He's a small shooting guard who's not that great at shooting.

Remind you of anyone in particular?

Not every aspect of Keyonte's effect on the floor can be boiled down by stats. Our spacing is different when he's out there. We rely less on hero-ball. He brings a certain je ne sais quoi. We need to assess him right now based on his positives not his negatives. He is soooo green still. Nearly every game he does something that shows his potential. His 10 FT last game is a great example of how he can change.

You are wrong about so many things again. The list keeps growing.

First off, those projections were made before season began. From the first game owards his role and production were bigger than you projected.

Secondly and thirdly, we are not tanking and there is no imminent fire sale. Just fans panicking a bit.

And last of all, Keyonte is not treated as savior or a star-level prospect. As a potentially good starter quality player? For sure. If you cant see that, you are as blind as your takes suggest.
