Jazz draft Keyonte George at 16

stitches said:
In a weird way Keyonte is probably higher upside player than Hendricks. He will need work though. He settles too much for 3s and takes some ill-advised shots. His FG% is disgustingly low, but it's somewhat misleading because a ton of those are 3p shots. His TS% is .525 ... again... nothing to write home about, but not as terrible as you would assume when you see 37.6% FG%. He does some things well too - goes to the line and his FT% is high... he has on-ball skill and potential... lets see what Hardy can do with him and if he can focus his talent in a positive direction.

What initially caught my eye is his combo of high 3Pr and FTr. IMO stars are stars because they can great offense from the most efficient places on the court. Obviously he’s missing the rim area and that’s a concern, but I like his ability to get off so many threes and still get the line.

I agree that he has the highest ceiling. The passing was hit and miss, but there’s a high end outcome where the shooting becomes very good and the rest falls in place. His off the dribble three might be the best in class
 
I think Keyonte can play PG, he’s going to be at his best running high PnR….but man that is a huge burden on him or anyone else in that position.

Ochai+Hendricks+Lauri+Kessler means that Keyonte has to be Luka. Great spacing and roll targets, but no self creation at all.

Realistically, I think you can only start one of Ochai/Hendricks. Gotta get Clarkson and/or Kelly in the starting lineup.
 
He shot 35.6% on pull up 3s on about 3 a game. This is a very good number and suggests high on-ball potential. So... even though the overall 3p% is not high, there is easily reachable room for improvement there...
