Key's Pouting

[homeytennis]

Trey Burke got dumped for a second round pick after his third season with the Jazz and no playoffs in that period. Quin grew tired of Trey's act.

If Key doesn't improve at all next year, then he probably should get traded.

I would hate to give up on a player as young as him before year three though, since so many players see significant growth in year three.

The Lakers gave up on a lottery pick guard (JHS) this year in his second year and traded him to the Jazz who promptly waived him. It happens. It's just the timing of the DN story was kind of odd. I'm wondering if Key's behavior was getting worse and the team gave the OK for her to run with it.

It sounds like Key threw a bit of a tantrum in Houston last night. Here is a snippet of an article in the Deseret News. "If George wants to find real footing on this team, if he wants to be respected in this league, he’s going to have to find a way to channel his frustration in a different way. Because sitting at the end of the bench and looking like he could care less what the rest of his team is talking about is not the way to do it." If he keeps behaving like this he might be moved for a 2nd round draft pick.

I assume you understand what plagiarism is? If you are going to quote something you need to include the article that is associated with the quote. Let me demonstrate

Keyonte George needs to find a better way to deal with his frustration

George’s body language makes him seem disinterested in what the Jazz are doing.

I hope he continues to just play because I have believed that he will be a key (pun intended) to getting a bigger star to play along with our draft picks for the next couple of years.

I've been in academics for decades. I would not consider this plagiarism at all.

While true that it's nicer to include the exact source, the essence of plagiarism is trying to pass off someone else's ideas as your own. @homeytennis did not do this.

(This is without getting into the issue of how plagiarism standards vary according to the situation. Message-board expectations about plagiarism are not (and should not be) as stringent as academic standards.)

Ainge and Hardy are just dumb and should have expected players would be extremely unhappy and unmotivated in a season where the team is throwing games.

"But they should play hard even just to assure their future in the league" yeah, they should, but they're also 21 years old or younger.

I backed out of following the draft entirely a few years ago. That said, I had questions regarding his shooting coming out of college that never seemed to be addressed. There was always some explanation about the role he was in, that he was taking tough shots and, essentially, “don’t worry about it.” There are legitimate times and reasons when a player’s numbers can be misleading but there has to be something tangible to point to for directing attention away from the numbers. Obviously players develop and grow, but is there anything we can appeal to as being good evidence of his shooting not being a concern that isn’t something about his form and release looking good or how crisp the splash is when it hits the net? Or have we collectively come to earth on this, which is what it feels like?

His jumpshot is fine, he just can't get separation and his physical tools suck which means his shooting or passing have to be elite and they're just OK instead.

And the whole package eventually had to be put together in some fashion that translates into shooting percentages. I’m not too terribly interested in how smooth it looks in an open gym.

I mean, his shooting percentages are low because he's too small and not good enough at handling the ball to get high percentage looks.

And that’s part of the “worrying about it” angle of looking at his college efficiency.
