Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

bump.

Keyonte seems to be really turning a corner in the post ASB now that the Jazz have given him complete control of the PG reigns.

Only negative thing is that with his massive increase in shots and usage, his FT rate has actually plummeted. Went from averaging 2.9 FTA per game on 9.5 FGA to 1.8 on 15.4 FGA.

He was hitting the ground a lot for those FT's. He's going to be a star for sure though. I worry his ego might grow bigger than D-Will and Donovan's put together.
 
I like that he started to set the offense more, earlier he was just bringing the ball up and mostly immediately passing to someone, he is more comfortable now with search dribble and waiting for the opportunity to make the right play.
 
Still early, but I dont see a lot of natural chemistry between Sexton and Keyonte. Still seems like giving this much load to Keyonte in his rookie year is a clear sign Sexton is going to get dealt within a year.

Wouldn’t be surprised, but my hunch is Clarkson nets a first this summer and they move Sexton to 6th Man. Not sure what our long-term need or plan at starting shooting guard is.

Clarkson would have to have a first attached to him at this point.

I don’t think so. He’s checked out and his salary is amazing for a contender starting this summer. I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal is already lined up. Doubt teams will be looking at the tank to judge his production.
 
I usually find these type of exercises to be futile, but what the hell? We’re losing games and I’m bored. Here’s Keyonte’s rookie numbers thus far matched up against Gilgeous-Alexander’s:

MPG:
Key- 25.7
SGA- 26.5

FG%
Key- 39.4%
SGA- 46.7%

3FG%
Key- 35.3
SGA- 36.7

PPG
Key- 12.2
SGA- 10.8

AST
Key- 4.5
SGA- 3.3

REB
Key- 2.8
SGA- 2.8

SGA’s overall FG% is quite a bit better, but that’s not surprising as he’s got an insane midlevel game, but other than that Keyonte’s overall numbers hold up pretty damn good.

If his ceiling ends up anywhere near SGA’s, Utah struck gold with the 19th overall pick- the exact type of thing that needs to happen in order for Utah to fully capitalize on the assets acquired forMitchell/Gobert. I think Key’s obviously had his fair share of rookie moments, but to say he’s been “bad” thus far is just nuts.

If anything, the side by side comparison should show Jazz fans that Keyonte could very well turn into a franchise cornerstone but it’s not happening overnight.

Teams might not read too much into this years suckage, but they sure as hell use it when they negotiate the price down.
