Keyonte George Hype & Appreciation Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Despite all the constant handwringing over if Keyonte can be a PG or not, he's averaging 7 APG for the Jazz and his APG have been trending up. If stays above 6 on the season (which seems likely), it will be the most APG by a Jazz player since Deron Williams.

I'm shocked he's averaging so many assists since it requires guys to actually make shots

Keyonte is shooting 32% from the floor.

I have never been one to stress "he's not a PG" because position labels are meaningless....I would say that in terms of his on ball abilities, his passing and playmaking is probably ahead of his scoring. That's not saying much though, he's one of the worst scorers in the league right now. The shot looks great but doesn't go in. He is a high turnover player, but tbh that's a symptom of a larger issue he has with focus.

I am not sure that these stats mean what you implied. First, there was a certain guard named Mike Conley who averaged 7.7 APG for the Jazz in 2022-23, Second, the only reason why Keyonte averages so many asists per game is because the Jazz force feed him heavy developmental minutes. The passing ability of Keyonte is good but nothing special. Currently, after 8 games, he averages 7.2 AST per 36 (according to Basketball Reference). Just last season the Jazz had four players who had higher AST per 36: Preston (8.1), Olynyk (7.7), Lofton (7.5), and Dunn (7.3).

I've been saying this for over a year now. The dude is Trey Burke 2.0

Much higher potential for George though due to his size and athleticism advantage over burke

I hope so but Keyonte doesn't have Donovan type athleticism.
