Keyonte George, the No. 16 pick in the NBA Draft, is a promising 19-year-old scorer — but one who will need to improve his game in many ways to make a big impact in the NBA. TakeNote
The No. 16th overall pick has plenty of offensive weapons, but he’ll need to be more efficient to thrive as a pro.
By all accounts, the Jazz love him: general manager Justin Zanik said that the team had him rated as the No. 10 best prospect in the draft, and that the team “debated” taking George even with the No. 9 pick. They eventually nabbed him with the 16th overall selection. Most of the time, the result of that is a 3-point shot. Among first-round draft picks, only UConn’s Jordan Hawkins took more of his shots from deep; 55% of George’s shots were threes. He’s good at keeping his feet behind the 3-point line, even stepping back to get the extra point — big for analytics junkies like me.
As with a lot of scoring combo guards, the questions come with the other elements of the game. Is he efficient? Can he pass well enough if and when defenses collapse on him? Can he defend well enough for his scoring to stay on the floor?The efficiency questions are real.
You also hope a lower offensive usage improves his defense. At times, George can really get after it, getting up on his opponent and causing some havoc.
