Jazz draft Keyonte George at 16

I wonder if Keyonte could take on a lower usage role and be happy. It seems like it is difficult for small guards with high usage rates to play good defense. I wonder if it just takes so much energy when you are small to get your own shots off.

I think ideally Keyonte would be a guy who sets up the offense, but mostly gets his shots when the offense breaks down. That is a very different role than what he played in college, so I'm not sure if he could do that, or if that would just be a waste of his talents.

A lot of people are saying he has a lot of bust potential…and I get why because it’s u likely he will be able to be this super usage flamethrower in the NBA….in addition to the question marks about developing his PG skills.

Having said that, I think he can fall into a Beasley type role if thinks don’t work out. It’s not ideal…but I think he will find a way to stick around. There are a lot of undersized combo guards that stick around.

I agree. It's going to take time and a lot of work but I think he can develop into a good point guard.

His playmaking highlights had some really tough nice passes. I would just prep him now to be oriented as a pg. make him run the bench unit and don’t do the bench gunner thing with him. I think that can ruin guys. I see it more than with guys like Sexton.

I'm betting/hopping this is the plan. I have a feeling Hardy is going to really hard on him at first while trying to develop him into a pg...gonna ride his *** even harder than he did Sexton last year.

Keyonte has the best looking stroke in the draft. I’m getting really excited for him.

Hopefully he handles it like sexton did.
These guys have big egos. Ain't easy to get treated like sexton was and still be on board.
