The Jazz potential starting five would be huge
George (6-4)
Bailey (6-8)
Markkanen (7-1)
Jackson Jr (6-10)
Kessler (7-2)
Not a lot of passing on that team.
Ace: 1.6 apg
Lauri: 2.2 apg
Jackson: 1.9 apg
Kessler: 1.7 apg
Going to be a ton of pressure on George to facillitate the offense.
And Keyonte is an erratic decision maker himself.
A guy who likes to play more freestyle than organied / system based basketball.
Your takes on Keyonte haven?t been very good. His assist to TO ratio is 2-1. He?s a top candidate for MIP.
That is true. He has far exceeded my expectations for him this season. I thought he would top out as an inefficient 15-5 combo guard.
By erratic I mean = he is like Russell Westbrook. Silly shot selection. Silly mistakes.
His coach in Utah has had to change the way he coaches Keyonte this season in order to keep him on the floor. He used to pull him off the court when he made these mistakes in his first two seasons. But he kept making them. He didn't learn / wasn't learning.
This year, he decided he wasn't able to mold Keyonte into a good decision maker / true PG. Instead, he decided to play him through his mistakes on the understanding that in the end, on the balance of things, his offensive contributions will be lean towards the positive more often than the negative even with all his mental miscues.
