Keyontae George progression watch this year
- Thread starter Thee Jazz Fan
- Start date
FWIW, despite Key’s improved play, it still has not translated to much improvement from a +\- perspective. Still getting killed with him on the floor.
Possibly just a SSS thing, but while he’s made great strides I wouldn’t crown him as a future star just yet.

More importantly to me, his offensive efficiency is still not close to what it needs to be.
His efficiency is progressing well IMO. I think his shot will return to form and I've been pleased with his where his offensive game is going. For me, the bigger problem is that his defense is still very bad. He has shown more effort, but I think he lacks the actual defensive talent and skill to ever be decent. My overall outlook on him as improved, but he still may be headed towards 6th man type if the defense remains.

yup. i'd still like to see his TS% in the 58-59 range. he's close, but his threes need to start falling.

His defense is a problem but going back to college days he has never been efficient on offense.
Lol, we can never enjoy anything

water's wet. nobody should ever overpay anybody. like, it's always a bad idea to pay somebody more than they are worth.
but in terms of what the jazz pay him, let's allow him to finish out the season and see what what we think he's worth. we're 13 games into his third season. let's allow things to play out a bit.
I just did the math and if Keyonte was shooting his normal 3pt% (34%) then his TS% would be 59.7% instead of his 56.7%. 56.7% isn't horrible for his usage and puts him in the range of Giddey, Siakam, Cade, and Banchero.
If you look at guys with >25% usage and ~60%TS% you are looking at guys like Brunson, Brown, Murray, and Maxey.
Now obviously he has to increase his 3pt% to career averages while maintaining his FTr and %, but I guess my point is that he's not far off elite levels for scoring guards and still just barely 22yo.
