Walt will have a better career. For a guy who only has three nba games under his belt he is poised, confident and seems to have a high IQ. Also he seems like a clutch kind of player and there aren’t many of those.
Keyonte or Walter Clayton Jr, who has the better career?
- Thread starter str8line
- Start date
For sure Key has that alpha streak. Another very nice game from him tonight. 26 PTS, 10 AST, 5 REB.
Keyonte has the potential to be a career $100M player, but the shooting efficiency needs to improve to make it happen. It's the efficiency that's stopping him from being a Tyler Herro, a Coby White or even a Reggie Jackson.
Walt looks like a steady backup guard, but he probably has a lower ceiling.

His efficiency already looks improved through 3 games, he’s to this point improved from 39% efficiency to 42%. Yes it’s only three games but he’s also shooting 65% from inside the line. Obviously that will come down some but he’s also off to a slow start in 3pt shooting at 18% so if you figure that into the equation he’s much improved considering he shot 33-34% from three his first two years I expect that to come way up. Hes also basically averaging 10 assists and getting 6ft’s a game.
Hes off to a better start than I thought for him. I see him having way more upside than Clayton with the same floor. Why is this a discussion?
Should be getting more hype from the board yet we got people calling him adequate
If he keeps playing the way he has and starts shooting it, he will be 100 M player on his next contract, forget career

Key was a player i was willing and almost anxious to throw in to a trade just 4 months ago, but i am drinking the kool-aid now. He made massive improvements over the summer. He is a stud.
That being said, WCJ looks amazing for a guy with 3 NBA games under his belt. Like... AMAZING!
AI am going against the grain to say WCJ has the better career because he should have major improvements just this season.

Keyonte has been playing well (on offense), but he's obviously been a huge beneficiary of Lauri's Jupiter-like gravity this season. Outside of scoring, his backdoor/alley-oop passing has been on point so far.
Defensively, he's still getting absolutely killed by POA ball screens. They're his kryptonite. Just refuses to fight through them, even with his new strength.
In pure 1-on-1 defense, he's been pretty good. There's some clear improvement there.
Overall body language is better too.

This is weird to me. Clayton is 22 Key was 18-19 years old when he came in. Key obviously wasn’t going to come in and be a world beater right away. What is impressive is the strides he made in year one. Not sure how you can gage what Clayton will do in his career based off three games. Key wasn’t exactly gifted a great team situation. He played on some really bad teams
To me it’s pretty clear Key’s celling is much higher
