“Weaknesses: athleticism… 3-point consistency… Shooting selection… Passing/lost ball ratio…”. These were the criticisms that could be read on the profile of Keyonte George before the Draft. When presenting the players before the Draft, there are always strengths and weaknesses, and the Jazz rookie has not forgotten these criticisms. So much so that the Jazz rookie has made it his wallpaper on his smartphone!
“I wake up every morning with this on my phone” he confides in Deseret News. “Every time I go into a game or a training session, that’s my main focus, every day, every game. You have to be careful with all that: take good shots, even if they don’t go in… Just make sure to take good shots, play with the ball… And that’s what I felt tonight. »

“Tonight” was the night against the Clippers since Keyonte George was simply the MVP of the evening with 33 points and 10 assists, 12 of 24 on shots. Something to catch the eye of Jerry West, who advised him on the sidelines, but also warned against a possible relaxation.
“I had a big smile on my face, and when he told me that, I didn’t expect it. I did not expect him to speak to me in the middle of a match. A legend like that. Not everyone has this type of exchange with someone like him. It was cool! »
