Start Keyonte George

Keyonte can be a starter if we tank. Portland start Scoot who should be better then Keyonte and they are pretty bad. If we are 2-8 after 10, i do hope he got some start and more minutes. But we are not here yet and THT is doing the job. He will never be fantastic but he is acceptable regarding the level of the team.
 
Current stats of 2023 first rounders. Keyonte seems to be doing pretty well both in opportunities to play and production:

As an aside: I've seen two Pistons games and Ausar can't shoot, but is a really good basketball player.

The only thing I'm taking from this chart is that Cason Wallace leads all rookies in Win Shares.

Its his insane shooting percentages.

However here is a fun fact: Exactly 100% of Wallace's buckets have been assisted. He has hit his shots but hasnt created much for himself or for others (with just 4 assists in 82 total minutes).

That stat isn't true, not sure where you are getting it from. I've witnessed him get an open court steal for a dunk, hit a midrange pull up, and get a putback layup. None of those were assisted.

The broader point is absolutely true. He isn't doing much on ball and probably has one of the least touches per minute of anyone in the NBA. On the other hand his points per touch is probably one of the highest in the NBA because as you noted the crazy high (and unsustainable) shooting numbers.

Since this is a Keyonte George thread, I'll get it back on track. Keyonte has a way higher potential on offense than Cason because he can get wherever he wants to on the court and is much more aggressive at getting shots up.

Btw I went to check all his FGA and I think he has 2 midrangers that are pretty iffy about being assisted. One of his two misses is also assisted, while the other miss instead is clearly an unassisted attempt. Didn't find the dunk you referred to, nor the putback layup (instead he had few clearly assisted buckets from under the rim).

Can check them out for yourself, but apart from the interpretation of the assisted term (two makes are pull ups after few dribbles from receiving the ball), the stats seem to be correct.

Hmmm.... I guess I was thinking of preseason. Interestingly, most of his shots in preseason were unassisted.
 
Bump. This needs to happen.

Also pickup the bat phone and call up Juzang. Not like we can win less with giving him a 10 mpg look.

Everything rn backs this up. JC+THT is not working and Sexton or Dunn seems to be fading under this hunger games of scrubs. And our rookie has the best IQ in the court. This is a no brainer. If he struggle we just take him in the bench for a minute and the coaching staff will tell him pointers and we throw him back in. He has the makings to be a solid starter in the league.
