i mean, it was a non contact injury. the idea the skinny/not as strong guys are more injury prone than thicker/stronger players is a myth.

I would love to see some data on this.
I have no idea what the data would show but I feel a LeBron/Karl Malone body would be more durable than a Durant/AK body.
Literally no idea if this true though.

I predict that we won't see Key back in the lineup until Feb 1. While his injury ïsn't serious" he has some soft tissue thingy that the Jazz training staff will use an abundance of caution on. See the history with Spida, Conley, Sexton, Walker, Lauri and Clarkson. If he's back before then I will be surprised.

this isn't about body frame and girth. Folks like Durant and Gobert are slim, but you never see them get pylon'd around. Even LeBron himself is fairly trim. What *is* a myth is thinking that non-contact injuries cannot be prevented by muscle strengthening.

Blake Griffin and Corey Maggette were built like gods and both were extremely injury prone. The same goes for Derrick Rose and about a thousand other well built players.

Exactly.
There are a thousand examples of everything here. Thats why I would like to see the data.
 
So Keyonte's TS% is literally among the worst in the NBA.

How realistic is it to expect that he'll rise from those depths and turn himself into an efficient scorer?

I mean anything is possible, I guess... but at this point we're aleady counting on this guy to become a major building block, if not an outright star, as well as making roster decisions where he's the one costant who will be here no matter what.

That's why you can't just keep using the "He was a 16th pick!!!" excuse. Wheels are in motion, bets are being made and stock is being bought.

Jazz media is saying Keyonte is a piece to championship team. I've heard that before! I know a lot of people are convinced, I'm just too jaded. He makes passes Trey never did, he's new to the point guard position, he shows flashes. But I need to see more.

When Derrick Rose was a rookie, you saw athleticism that was different. Same thing with Fox, Westbrook, Morant, etc. Keyonte looks small out there to me.

I think Keyonte is better than rookie Trey Burke, but he's closer to Burke than he is to Fox.

Hope I'm wrong. Admittedly I've watched about 30% of his minutes.

Dude. Read the threat title and gtfo with that weak ****. Make your own thread to bash Key if you will.

Burke is 3" shorter, was 2 years older as a rookie, way worse passer (at any age) and Keyonte is already getting to the line at a higher rate than Trey ever has.

Burke is one of those rare specimen who achieved very little development after his decent rookie year, even if his shooting improved some over the years. He is not even a floor comp for Keyonte, unless Keyonte has already peaked.
 
Good point about getting to the free throw line. That does give me some hope.

I'd suggest NBA rookies that don't improve is not rare. Plenty of examples. It's the rare one that does.

Just a reminder that Trey Burke was the final piece that was going to lead the "Core Four" to glory!

Here's hoping Keyonte makes me look foolish!

Yeah its surprisingly common that players dont make leaps after good rookie years. But thats a doubt we can throw on any rookie, even the most talented and athletic ones.. so not really anything worth painting on the wall for Key.
