DM was a year older, Wade and Dame were 2. Maxey played just 15.5 mpg.

However here are per games for the other 3 who were all 19-20 and played 21-27 mpg:

Id say thats pretty close. Interestig thing is that eFG% are also almost equal, Key just takes way more 3s.

Yeah- I had noticed that his eFG% was better than expected because of 3's. I think Key could have 40+ % by the end of season, and hopefully 3pt % up to 35% or more. If his PPG gets up to near 13/game that puts him in very good company for rookie yr stats..

would love it if he could get the FG% north of 0.40.

Too lazy to look it up but I also suspect he gets to the line more than those two did in year one.

That's his best skill right now imo

It all comes down to how badly Key wants to get better. It is how hard he will work in the offseason. Honestly, imo, that is what makes good players great. Sacrificing play time for work time.

Good to see. Rookies rarely contribute to winning, but if the numbers are in line with these guys he has a promising future.

If Kessler and Keyonte can keep improving and we get another great player to go with Lauri we are a dangerous team.

His best skill is the pout. Getting to the line a close second.

This was a cool read and comparison. Thanks. The APG numbers continue to catch me by surprise, especially with the limited minutes.

The pout means he wants it bad, which is good. As long as he doesn't turn into a ball-hog chucker.
