Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

[Thee Jazz Fan]

So, did he turn a corner or was this just a night where everything was going in for him? He did get his assists back up though so that’s good.

He did well in the first half. A lot of the good shooting came with no pressure cuz the game was out of reach. I think it’s definitely good and maybe it builds on itself but it came in the extended garbage time… which is where we will live until Lauri comes back.

He's not going to turn a corner this year. He's going to have good and bad games. Dont expect too much offensive consistency. Games will get easier as the Jazz tank ramps up, teams stop us as seriously, and Keyonte plays looser.

I'd like to see Keyonte focus on his AST more than scoring, like he did early season. What better time than when we're losing anyways to get better at distribution and not worry about scoring.

This. Right now he's turning into a younger, even less efficient mix of THT and Sexton.

Ehh, he's a bucket getter at heart. You have to establish yourself as a threat first and foremost, then playmaking opportunities will open up. He's already shown he can turn on the playmaking side of his brain, he should establish the scoring side as it's more important in the long run.

He plays nothing like either of those players....

I agree he is a bucket getter at heart. But I think his ability to facilitate others will become more important than his scoring as we develop a stronger lineup so he should establish that playing style now. A Stockton-like mentality would be perfect; primarily focusing on making those around him better but still scoring when needed.

Right. The era of building around small, high-usage, score-first combo guards is over.

You can only facilitate so much if teams arent scared of your scoring. This isn the 90's. You make players better by being a dominant scorer and then using that gravity to move the ball. If could just do that in the modern game Killian Hayes would be a very good starter.

He has a small frame so from an injury standpoint he will need to be crafty. Make the goal 10 AST/game then take whatever points you can get after that.

Keyonte can get his shot at will, he just needs to start making more of them which I think will happen. The question is which one is more important, scoring or facilitating? I'd opine that facilitating will be so get that dialed ASAP.
