Utah Jazz point guard Keyonte George went above and beyond expectations in his rookie year.
going just 31-51 on the year, there were plenty of memorable and enjoyable pieces to the season. One of the brightest was Keyonte George , the rookie out of Baylor who burst onto the scene from day one and seized the Jazz starting point guard role.
George’s scoring remains the most intriguing piece of his game. He recorded three games in which he scored over 30 points and went over 20 points in nine others. When he’s playing confidently, he can get buckets from all three levels and has plenty of juice from long-range. On February 15, George etched his name into the record books when he knocked down nine three-pointers, which tied him for the rookie record and put him all alone for Jazz rookies.
Despite all the positives, it wasn’t a perfect season for George. He, like the Jazz's other guards, struggled with efficiency. There was a point in the middle of March where George seemed to have figured out how to get to his spots and score more efficiently, but those numbers dipped as his teammates missed games and his name became more prominent on opposing scouting reports. Judging by his end-of-season comments, he’s not worried about the misses.
