Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

Also another big positive on Keyonte.

He has managed to cut down on the telegraphed cross court passes as of late. Cant even remember the last time he did that, and at the very least he was doing them much more frequently early in the season.

Keyonte last 5 games:
16.4 PPG on 54/45/89 shooting, along with 4.2 boards and 2.8 assists in just 24.4 mpg.

Per 36 that is 24.2/6.2/4.1.

Is the rook figuring stuff out?

Those shooting percentages are what im loving. Its a make or miss league. If you are making shots most nights then you are awesome. If you are missing then you suck. Especially from a point guard/shooting guard perspective. He was missing shots like crazy and he sucked ***. Lately he has been making shots and he has been awesome.

Lies, damned lies and "per 36 numbers for the 4th quarters he has recorded minutes in".

I mean jesus, that's what you call reaching.

Both the eye test and the honest stats say that Keyonte is the worst rotation player on the team. Why not just accept it? If he gets better, great. If he doesn't, not great. No need to go to ridiculous lengths to try to prove there's some hidden treasure in his game.

He was good in the Bucks game because his shots fell. That's what it pretty much comes down to for him and I suspect it's gonna be the same story all his career.

I have a feeling that this particular post will be returned to multiple times during the coming years.

I am also starting a campaign to have your nickname changed into Tremendous Downside as you live up to this name time after time. I applaud for you consistency! I wonder if someone could create a net± per36 report of your posts. :D

The most impressive thing Keyonte did last game was that even though he was hot, he realized that Lauri was even hotter and deferred the ball to him in isolation for the last two key offensive possessions. JC would never.

So its not just about the efficiency. Being smart and making good decissions is a big part of it as well. Keyonte has been great at that area all year, and his own usage is much lower than what he has the talent for.

To be fair to Sexton, he's at 25.8/3.7/6.5 on 48/38/88 shooting per 36 over the whole season.

Cy is just being Cy.
I mean its way more likely that clarkson is gone and Keyonte and/or Sexton basically replace him.

Why's that? I said he's been bad this season. That's a fact. Sure he's had a few good games but that doesn't change the overall picture. Whether or not Key improves in the future, it doesn't have anything to do with me calling it like I see it now.

It's also not much of a reach to say that the guy could struggle with shooting consistency all through his career. To me he seems to be the epitome of hot/cold, and as he's not that athletic for his position, shooting can make or break him.

I want year 2 Keyonte to be a ball moving robot who only takes open shots and makes them, keeps his dribble alive and doesn't sulk. That would be a huge win

My favorite sign of progression from the OKC game was the way they tried to target him as a defender and he stood tall and tough. SGA got a favorable whistle or two, but Key wasn't the easy target they were expecting. They'd probably have had to switch him out during the run if he hadn't been able to compete on that end, but he did, and it kept him in the game during the critical run.
