He never missed a layup. Ever.Yet, he hit 50% on 2s, 38% on 3s, and 84% at the line. He was a threat to score if left alone/lightly guarded, and it helped his passing game.

Just different ball game. Especially after they took away the handcheck rules. A lot of 16ppg players could've easily averaged 25+ppg in today's NBA.Stockton was a reluctant shooter. Part of what made him team player great and part what held the team back. He very easily could have been a 25 pt scorer back in the day under similar shooting percentages. Drove me ****ing nuts when he would pass up open shots. One of the weird things about him is he was not a clutch free throw shooter. I would have rather had just about anybody on the free throw line at the end of the game than him. It was a certainly an anomaly.
It’s almost like he’s a rookie that’s never faced this level of speed, size, and strength and needs time to play through mistakes, limit test, and figure out NBA defenses.This. Right now he's turning into a younger, even less efficient mix of THT and Sexton.
I missed the memo where the Jazz were canceling all future development of passing, ball skills, and offensive reads.Yeah but we suck so who cares? In five years I guarantee it will be more important for Key to be a facilitator than primary scorer so he should develop those skills now vs. trying to win games while we would really benefit more in the long run by losing now anyways. Not saying he shouldn't score but don't forget to distribute.
Way too many factors to accurately predict. Numbers-wise their rookie seasons are nearly identical. Haliburton leads in PPG but that gap will close rapidly now that Key is a starter with a long leash.Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 26 and 12. Could Keyonte sniff that?

You did? Where you been?I missed the memo where the Jazz were canceling all future development of passing, ball skills, and offensive reads.
Nearly identical except Tyrese shot 47% and Key is at 36%. Other than that nearly identical.Way too many factors to accurately predict. Numbers-wise their rookie seasons are nearly identical. Haliburton leads in PPG but that gap will close rapidly now that Key is a starter with a long leash.
It’s hard to focus on getting assists when the people you pass to are incapable of putting the ball in the hoop.I'd like to see Keyonte focus on his AST more than scoring, like he did early season. What better time than when we're losing anyways to get better at distribution and not worry about scoring.
Topped all rookies in scoring and assists the past week. And he has dished more assists (120) than any other two rookies combined. The Texas product matched Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – 30 points, 7 assists – vs. OKC Monday.
Probably not playing on a team with Lauri.Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 26 and 12. Could Keyonte sniff that?

I mean he got hurt when no one was around him at all and he was just trying to play some defense.he's gonna remain injury prone if he doesn't add some strength. Pylons too much in there. The only question mark I have for him -- I'm thoroughly optimistic otherwise

Wasn't this similar to his Summer League injury?I mean he got hurt when no one was around him at all and he was just trying to play some defense.
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.he's gonna remain injury prone if he doesn't add some strength.

I would love to see some data on this.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.
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.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.
