Start Keyonte George

[Moonlight Graham]

I gotta ask - How would y'all rate Keyont's defense in these first nine games?

Not great, but I think he has the potential to be at least average.

Bad, but not nearly as bad as I anticipated.

I liked a lot of what I saw from Keyonte tonight in his first start. We're going to have to live with some growing pains, but I think he's going to keep looking better and better.

I liked most of it. What I didnt like is he passed on quite a few shots that he should have taken. And also the fact that Jordan Clarkson dominated most of our possessions because he was feeling it.

Keyonte is definitly a starter in a bad team. It will give him more min, and he will learn faster. As we do not intend to win ( or can't), this is the best choice. THT can come from the bench and Sexton may probably get trade.

I'm not worried about Key passing up shots in the long run. He's too much of a natural gunner not to let that side of him surface eventually.

Right now, IMO it's important that he learns the trade of an NBA point guard, and on this team it should be 90% about distributing and facilitating.

He was good for being a newbie in the league. It is so over for THT starting. Can not imagine one single person that would be feeling bad about it around here.

They're talking about Keyonte postgame and he didn't play PG until senior year high school when the PG got hurt.

And then one year of college and here he is - in his third year of being a point guard at any level. Impressive!

Are you saying Cy is not a person?

Passable with flashes of good stuff and bad stuff

Sweet. I wanted to get some takes on it as I wasn't big on his defense from what I saw; granted, I expect him to improve as he's young and new to the NBA. I'm glad he's getting times though. When he was drafted I was hoping he could play PG effectively and it looks like that is going to happen.

Pretty good. Better than sexton, clarkson, KO, and collins imo
