Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

Don't know if it's intentional or not, but I don't think we need bad statistical arguments to glaze Key. No need to pull a Locke.

having the highest usage on the team and being clearly above average TS% is a pretty big deal. that was always Don's issue. He couldnever quite get above league average but the truly great players always do. Not saying Key is a great player. He'll have to sustain it year in and year out. But it is a positive sign being in the 60s at age 22.

Donovan never became anything more than a moderate foul drawer

Kudos for brining up the fact that TS% has increased since then. Numbers have gone up quite a bit in just a few years. I see so many people comparing today’s efficiency to a previous time and that’s just not right. Key is still more efficient in a relative sense, but it’s not as much as it appears on the surface.

But the elephant in the room with all of this is the other side of the ball. I think Key is comparable or maybe even better than Don offensively, but if we’re going to call one player overrated it’s only fair to consider both sides of the ball.

yeah I wonder how much the uptick in efficiency is related to how the game is being officiated. I'd have to do a deep dive

IIRC in the 90s it was around 54/55. I was curious a couple years ago and during prime Stockton years he was averaging around 65% which was top 10-15 all time I think. I wish he would have shot the ball more.
