26 seconds in and he refers to him as first round prick. How’s the rest of it?

Strong catch and shoot player. Doesn't think he creates much separation... inefficient as a pull up scorer in SL. 8 of 31 on pull ups in SL. Settling for pull up jumpers...

Flashes of strong downhill drives... good at initiating contact... will get to the line a lot.

Big area of improvement - decision making with ball in his hand ... nice passes out of the PnR.

Incredibly positive performance... still areas to work on - decisionmaking, consistency of pull up jumper, continuing to get better with the balance between creating for himself and for teammates.

He does seem to think Keyonte's performance in SL has been overrated a bit.

Him and Sam were pretty down on Keyonte (relative to others) so it's going to take a bit more to really convince him.

I just watched this and while their analysis is fine, I think this is a little bit too much cold water to pour on a guy that played as well as Keyonte just did. What Keyonte did in the summer league this year is on par with just about any other rookie to have played in the summer league in the past 5 years. He was by all standards simply amazing.

They didn’t want to admit they got it wrong.. lol..
 
If people are picking on off the bounce shot pecentage on an NBA rookie, they are just about out of things to criticize. I'm really curious, however what the true shooting percentage is off of Keyonte's off the dribble. It seems that there were a lot of threes mixed in there.

This is pretty much what his draft profile already said about him, so no surprises here. It's gotta count for something that he did it in SL, though.
