Jazz draft Keyonte George at 16

Keyonte regularly hits 3s in game from several feet behind the line. You can debate if it’s wise to take those shots, but it’s certainly something Ben Simmons can’t do.
Game video is far more valuable than open gym video.
 
your saying his college coach held him back? By the way both Keyontae, George and Bryce Sensabaugh are 19 yr old kids too. Keep that in mind.
His college coach held him back as much as Lauri's did. Yep.
 
I think Keyonte has the most All Star potential, simply because he's got a pretty well-rounded game and he's going to put up the most points. This next era of the Utah Jazz may become known as the Keyonte-Lauri era. He's probably going to be that era-defining guard for the Jazz.
Or he will bust like many many picks do. Ya he might be great. He might be ok. He might be out of the league in a couple years. He is a kid who has done nothing yet. Just like all the other players in the draft.
 
I think there is a very outside chance that Keyonte gets in the ROY conversation. I think these things would need to happen:

- Jazz don't sign another guard
- Keyonte beats out Dunn and THT in the guard rotation OR Clarkson and THT move on.
- Jazz stick to their talking point that Sexton is not a starter and Agbaji is.

Keyonte could be looking at an opportunity to have regular rotation minutes in rotations where he could have the ball in his hands a ton with a spaced floor and a pretty good supporting cast.
 
I seem to remember that last guard from Baylor the Jazz drafted and everyone was so high on him. What was his name? I forget.

Maybe like Don… Ochai or Sexton get the Hood diarrhea and he gets promoted game 1.
