Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

If Archie pointed out something George did really well would that also be weird?
Nah. If he pointed out that keyonte passing has been the best part of his game then that would just be accurate, not weird.
 
His assist to turnover ratio ratio is 2.71. That would place him somewhere between Isiah Thomas (2.61) and Steve Nash (2.81). Obviously a small sample size of 10 games where you could say that he’s scouted and that those passes not represented as turnovers become such over larger samples, but that also negates the improvement and experience side of the equation, but 10 games is also a large enough sample for it to be somewhat perplexing where passing is referenced as the problem with nothing to point to. It’d have to be represented somewhere in the numbers somehow. Like fish, I’m much more concerned about his shooting efficiency.
 
Ahh so it's weird when you disagree with it and there is no nuance to passing.
I posted about the nuances to passing in my post silly. He has made some easy passes. He made some difficult passes. He has made some bad passes that led to turnovers. He has made all kinds of passes with different results. Main thing is that most of his passes resulted in buckets and very few resulted in turnovers. He has a good assist to turnover ratio. Passing has been the thing he has been good at this season. Passing is the reason he got minutes. And then was awarded the staring job. It certainly isn't due to his scorching shooting lol. (his shooting/scoring has been poor. This is the thing to critique. Not his passing)
 
You can see the kid's talent from a mile away. I think his passing game is his biggest weakness at this point. Too many turnover pick sixes if you will. He'll learn to slow it down a bit and just get better.
Yeah, I agree. At the same time, passing has been one of his strengths, but it's clear he makes a lot of really dangerous or just lazy passes, even though he's been lucky to keep the TOs down so far. That will come, though, I'm not concerned about that part at all.
 
passing has definitely been his biggest strength so far. the only thing archie did was pointed out that he still has some things to work on - but he didn't make a case that it's his biggest weakness.

He literally said "his passing game is his biggest weakness".

i guess i'll say it again - he didn't make a case that it's his biggest weakness. i can call you a murderer, but for it to stick i have to actually make a case that what i said is true. he made his statement - he didn't make a case to support that statement. all he did was pointed out that keyonte isn't a perfect passer, that he has things to work on. iow, the fact that he still has some weaknesses as a passer, doesn't mean he passing is his biggest weakness.

He has 7 pick six turnovers. Lol
 
Why is pointing out something weird? Why is it weird to analyze basketball?

I'm really over rookies having armor against any kind of legitimate critique. You can say a rookie isnt doing something well and it doesnt mean you hate them/think they suck.

Archie is correct that Keyonte has gone down the court several times and just made the automatic pass when it was obvious the defender was sitting on it. For the people who dont know ball, the automatic pass is basically the first pass to initiate a play, so often just swinging the ball to the other side.
Someone who actually gets what I'm saying. A few of those passes have come in the last few minutes when the game was close. They're not hard to remember.

Again, I'm not dissing on the kid, but he's had some really lazy, predictable passes imo.
 
He has 7 pick six turnovers. Lol
How do you look up that information? How does that compare to other point guards? How many pick six turnovers does kyrie irving have for example?
