Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

[Flc]

Not trying to tear him down but there was a dj & pk after Hayward had left that Locke basically admits it was a jazz pr thing and that his numbers were strongly influenced by having Gobert behind him. My source is “trust me bro” as I can’t find the audio now. But I think it’s easier to admit those things after your guy leaves and there was some selfish motivation in that Locke was gassing Gobert.

I trust you, bro

I wonder if the Jazz will offer him a promise at the 5 year Max if he agrees to sit

Not the craziest idea. Crazy that Key is approaching fun max territory.

I don’t think it’s an accident that Key is shoots so much better when playing alongside Clayton or Collier. He was doing just fine as the heliocentric ball handler, but I think he’s really at his best when he can share the on ball load and use his off ball ability as well. I think that’s great for scaling up once we try to win. We won’t have problems if/when we are able to add another on ball star player.

This little pissy comment is a perfect example of why people don’t like you.

I'm not here to make friends. Got that dawg in me

Key leads the NBA (tied with Sengun) for 5 buckets to tie/win a game at the end of regulation or OT. However Key is 5/9 on such attempts, while Sengun is only 5/13.

He is also 9th in clutch scoring. and 29/32 (90.6%) on clutch free throws (clutch = last 5 minutes of close games). Combine that with Lauri (who has 50/40/92 clutch splits with pretty high volumes) and you got two guys who can win you games and who show up in those moments.

Jazz FO gotta start investing in building around them sooner rather than later.
