An efficient 30 points tonight.

Keyonte George missed two weeks of play, wasn’t in the starting lineup to start the season, and STILL has 46 more assists than the next rookie. #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/ojGu0sUslt

But shooting a horrifically inefficient 36% on the season. Shot selection or is his shot simply broken? I haven't watched the Jazz this season.

Dude is silky smooth off the catch and shoot. Shooting off the dribble is … just different. He's having to learn to get open in different ways. I also suspect the Jazz have tweaked his shooting form a little bit. He's kicking his right foot much further than he did at Baylor on his jump shots and a few time he's looked like Klay Thompson rotating the entire right side of his body on a vertical axis behind his shot.

If you watch him once he initiates the offense, to my eye he's gotten even better attacking/shooting from the wings. He's much more decisive and doesn't pound the ball.

Also, his TS% has creeped up to nearly 50% after being in the mid-40s at the start of December. That's a great sign. If he can get his shot to fall like it was at Baylor then you've an All Rookie team selection and borderline allstar beyond.

You are looking at small sample sizes. Trust your eyes and not the stats. A few years ago Mario Teague had a poor 3 pt% and then hit 10 of 11 in Lubbock and his numbers flipped.

He was a 38 percent shooter at Baylor and was sub-34 percent from 3. It looks like he's shooting pretty much exactly the way he did at Baylor, and that's eventually going to be an issue.

Grady wasn't Big XII Freshman of the Year...It's not surprising you and the people who liked your post prefer Kansas players over Baylor players.

I love all this arguing about George - - Heck of player and hopefully will have a long NBA career. I bet a strong off season of weights and conditioning will help him next year - expect the FG% to improve. That first year playing NBA ball must take a toll on the body and mind....Happy to see Baylor represented.....

I just don't care what he does in the NBA. I judge all Baylor players by what they do/did in a Baylor a uniform, and his season was one of the more frustrating in recent memory.

I guess being the Newcomer of the Year, Freshman of the Year, First team Freshman and Second team Big12 aren't worthy enough.....Hmmmm. Ok.

I care what he does in the NBA. He was a Baylor Bear. I don't just discard them when they move on to the next level. He's not just here for my feelgood. I want him to succeed.

I didn't say I wish him ill. But I'm not an NBA fan. I'm a bandwagon Mavericks fan at best, who will usually tune in to the playoffs, when teams actually play with some urgency and intensity on both ends.

Baylor is my men's basketball rooting interest. That's what I care about. And frankly, it's hard to get too attached to or invested in players who are only with our team for a single season.

I tend to root for the post-college success of those who had significant impacts on or showed significant growth in our program. But I don't have the time or bandwidth to invest myself in the careers of every player who came through our program, particularly those I didn't really enjoy watching while they were here.

We have so few players in the NBA that I have plenty of bandwidth to root for his success.
