And offensively. And they don't know what to do during timeouts and get lost coming out of the lockerroom. If you are getting anything at all positive out of a rookie, they might end up being special.

I will admit my eyes aren’t glued to him every single play but I thought he’s been pretty decent on defense.

Me too. Seems pretty good defensively to me.

Generally, however, Keyonte's biggest issue is just getting bodied on screens. He's a bit to slight to properly fight through them right now.
 
Keyonte is active defensively and he has decent awareness of passing lanes. He just loses almost all physical battles and makes some rookie mistakes on that end as well. He stays in front of his man when he is defending the dribble and works around screens pretty well. Doesnt have any kind of chasedown defense towards the rim so when he gets beat off the dribble he also stays beat.

His biggest weaknesses show up when defending guys who havent used their dribble, especially when his guy gets the ball inside with back towards the basket. He bites to fakes and gets pushed around in those situations, probably mostly due to his lack of height and weight.
 
I'm not worry about Keyonte. He seems smart and willing to work, I totally can see him a Mike style career, probably more points with less % and a bit more assist. Probably not the same ratio Assist/To but Mike one in 16 years career is quite incredible. That will put him as a very high level player, a 3rd option in a contender team.

I hope the Jazz coaches recognize that Keyonte may need some outside help with his shot. It may be the difference between him becoming and All Star and staying a role player.

You should give them a call.

“Hi guysh. Tremendous Upside here from the Jazzfanz.com forums. I’d like to make you aware of some critical aspects to Keyonte’s development. I’ve prepared a powerpoint if we could take our seats… thank you, Will. Thank you, Mr. Terry.”

One of my biggest takeaways of Keyonte's play the last couple of weeks is that he is not afraid in the least to lay his body on the line to make a play.

So true
