Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

George W said:
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.

Gobert and Lebron are extremely built and developed muscular frames.

Dude. Read the threat title and gtfo with that weak ****. Make your own thread to bash Key if you will.

Burke is 3" shorter, was 2 years older as a rookie, way worse passer (at any age) and Keyonte is already getting to the line at a higher rate than Trey ever has.

Burke is one of those rare specimen who achieved very little development after his decent rookie year, even if his shooting improved some over the years. He is not even a floor comp for Keyonte, unless Keyonte has already peaked.

Burke was just as good at passing, if not better, than Keyonte as rookies.


Burke's game just did not translate to the NBA. He played slow and favored tough 2's over 3's. He couldnt draw fouls and couldnt finish in the paint. Keyonte at least favors 3's and can draw fouls, but he does play slow.

With hindsight the ******** on Burke is extremely easy, but he had his moments his rookie season that made you think he could turn the corner. I dont think they are comparable players, but they could have comparable careers if Keyonte doesnt improve. Burke has talked about his immaturity early in his career. Some young guys just dont take the opportunity as seriously as they should.

I have never been as hyped for a draft pick as I was with Burke. He showed a lot of glimpses his rookie year too and made the all-rookie team. I think his size was a big problem for him he was extremely undersized.
 
I hated the burke pick. Didn't want any part of him wherever we were picking
The fact that we traded up to get him really pissed me off.

I was at the arena and everyone was so stoked about it when the rumors popped up online. I got up and walked right out. I was so pissed about the trade/pick.

So Keyonte's TS% is literally among the worst in the NBA.

How realistic is it to expect that he'll rise from those depths and turn himself into an efficient scorer?

I mean anything is possible, I guess... but at this point we're aleady counting on this guy to become a major building block, if not an outright star, as well as making roster decisions where he's the one costant who will be here no matter what.

That's why you can't just keep using the "He was a 16th pick!!!" excuse. Wheels are in motion, bets are being made and stock is being bought.

It is about time someone spoke truth here. Sad fact is there are only like 3 rookies that improved over the course of their careers in the NBA ever. Doc Rivers, Cedric Cebalos, and marginally, Xavier McDaniels. Every other player stayed steady of got worse.

Maybe I’m not understanding what you’re referring to but if it’s TS% Donovan’s was not good his Rookie 54%, or 2nd year 53.6%. And was up to 60% last year that is a very large jump.
Right now Key is at 50% 1/3 of the way into his Rookie season. We can at least give him a little time to figure it out before jumping to any conclusions.
