Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

[Flc]

I’d rather have a cocky player who believes in himself than someone who lacks confidence

And he’s cocky but actually has game to back it up.

Trey Burke was cocky too, but that cockiness remained after he had a few 2 of 20 games in summer league.

Utah's Dixie needs to get in on this. Have official Keyonte George day.

Remember when the Jazz would do training camp in St. George? That was pretty cool. . .

Sounds like Jamal Murray clone

Leif Touline was the first who coined that comparison about 2 months before the draft.

In hindsight he was right.

It's been his comp since before the college season started

Keep that in mind for the Keynote George nickname thread.

By Leif? Or others too?

By everyone

Oh true.. I’ve just heard it from Leif. Great dude btw.

 

[YoungJefe]

He's our starting PG

He might be. Kind of depends on what the goals are for this year. So far, he’s looked the part - maybe they give him the opportunity and see what he does with it.

Key should get significant minutes first game out and rest of season regardless how bad he may look first ten games
Donovan looked disappointing his first ten games and then played great from then on

It would be criminal if he doesn’t start.

I don't disagree, but I suspect Dunn will probably get the starting nod with George getting meaningful minutes (I'm rioting if George does not play some time at the start of the season, barring injury). George will probably take over at some point during the season unless Dunn just knocks it out of the park.

No, why would we?

Or maybe it's because the coach thinks he's better off the bench. No need to drag the law into this. Besides what legal statute could possible govern who starts on a basketball team?

I think it might pay to take English 101 … the class on metaphors?

I don’t think Dunn’s situation should impact Keyonte tbh. Dunn did well for what he was asked to do last year, but I don’t see a long-term future for him with the team. He’s on a one year, non guaranteed contract and is one of the oldest players on the team. Better to just start KG3 and see what he can do at that point. Let the kid just take his lumps. I think he’ll also make some huge strides in the process.

Because there is no other good nickname for him and it's a city in Utah

yup. snyder deserves a lot of credit for sticking with him and avoiding a hit to his confidence by benching him or taking away the green light.
