Jazz draft Keyonte George at 16

[YoungJefe]

Nope. Ran a 4.45 40 in HS.

He doesn’t burst past dudes

I hope we put him at PG. Ochai deserves to start at SG.

i think they want him to be a lead guard.

 

[KqWIN]

I think Keyonte can play PG, he’s going to be at his best running high PnR….but man that is a huge burden on him or anyone else in that position.

Ochai+Hendricks+Lauri+Kessler means that Keyonte has to be Luka. Great spacing and roll targets, but no self creation at all.

Realistically, I think you can only start one of Ochai/Hendricks. Gotta get Clarkson and/or Kelly in the starting lineup.

Let’s hope he can play point, because there was zero reason to draft a smallish sg that can’t play defense.

Sounds like the plan is to develop him into a point guard.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

This seems to be logic. Not much interest if he is not playing PG.

He shot 35.6% on pull up 3s on about 3 a game. This is a very good number and suggests high on-ball potential. So... even though the overall 3p% is not high, there is easily reachable room for improvement there...

 

[Keefe]

37.6/33.8/79.3% More turnovers than assists. Awful.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Could have been ****ing JHS

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I really want to know how tall/long he is.

6'2.75 barefoot w/ a 6'7 wingspan my guess

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Could have been ****ing JHS

I would have preferred JHS. Or, I should say that I would have preferred the player I imagine JHS will turn in to vs the player I am imagining Keyonte will turn in to.

Take note!
Take Keynote!

 

[Keefe]

keyonte played injured most of the second half of the season. it was bad enough he could have sat out but he chose to play as he wanted to compete. the talent, size and skillset are very similar to murray.

But his 37/33 and A:T are just so bad man. Idk.

IMO there is a reason he didn't measure at the combine(he probably wouldn't have measured great). I wonder if they can and insist on measuring them when they come on a visit/workout?

 

[framer]

I have a sneaking suspicion we will deeply regret not taking Cam with this pick.

Golden State took Podz over Cam. There was something deeply broken there.

 

[framer]

If you look at what Kevin said he dean matter to generate assists at a higher rate. Does that Chang your mind?

Unexpected Community. . .

 

[idiot]

If anyone hasn't seen this long, optimistic look at Keyonte:

 

[Mikle12]

Wow he has a decent cross over dribble really puts the opposition out of place

 

[Pastramiking]

Looks like Jordan Clarkson 2.0
