Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

AlaskanAssassin said:
One of Key, Carter, or Collier needs to turn into a starting caliber PG. If Collier can learn how to make 36% (league average) of his threes on 4-5 attempts per game, I think he's an above average starting PG. That might be asking too much.

Aesthetically Carter just looks like a modern day NBA point guard to me. If his quick release and shooting percentages carry over to the NBA, I could see the playmaking coming more naturally for him given NBA spacing. Seems like the leadership and drive are there.

I have no idea on Keyonte. He has all the tools to do it. I'm hoping that clearing out Sexton and Clarkson is a bit of an opportunity for him to take the reigns. If you ask me, Sexton was not the right veteran to have alongside Key these past couple years. Sexton is too early in his NBA career to start focusing on developing/helping the next guy. Plus, it didn't seem like the coaching staff saw Key as a PG for the second half of last season. Mental, leadership, focus, defense.......all question marks.

Literally just one of these guys has to hit and it will provide a lot more hope for the future.

Good post other than all the Carters in there. (Clayton)
I agree with all this.
If I had to pick one of the three to end up being an all star one day im going with keyonte just because of his size/athleticism and beautiful looking shot. Plus he is extremely confident (though that could be a detriment.) He is also very good at getting to the line. I also remember when he first started getting big minutes in his rookie that he looked like a great facilitator/passer.

Its just hard to evaluate players while tanking.

pretty fun highlights. the nice thing about an inefficient player's highlights is they never miss.

i had forgotten about the block on kd's dunk attempt at 2:07 and i hadn't seen the dunk against indiana at the 6:00 mark - more impressive than his fake dunk on duren, imo.

I believe the dunk at the 2:25 mark (over Duren) was ranked in the top 3 dunks in the entire nba for the entire season last year. iirc

The Jazz had 4 of the 10 worst defenders in the NBA in their rotation last year (Keyonte, Sexton, Sensabaugh, and Cody) and I wonder how often that's happened.
 
how silly that people are still talking about keyonte as a starter. that ship sailed the moment he stopped playing the pg position. however, remember that we fell in love with clarkson years ago when he won sixth man of the year. and we loved ingles both on the bench and occasionally starting. we need good bench guys and he might just be one. as long as clayton can play point guard they can fit together just fine,

I think its a bit silly for anyone to think that they know anything about the future of this team and how rotations will work or how good a 21 year old player will be in the future.

Well we clearly know about Kessler and Cody Williams. So why would keyonte have benefit of the doubt?

Im sure you were joking but I have no clue how good Cody or Kessler will be or what they will look like in a an nba rotation 5 years from now. At 26 years old Keyonte could be in the running for nba mvp. Very unlikely but he has the tools to be as good as anyone in the nba. Kessler obviously wont ever been a great scorer. Cody is limited a bit by his lack of size and strength. Nothing is holding keyonte back from a physical or skill standpoint. For him its all about effort, attitude, and bbiq to determine how good he will be.
