Went to the Jazz vs. Grizzlies game tonight. George didn't start but played 33 minutes. He scored 8 points. He was 3-15 from the field. He missed every 3 point shot he attempted. He had 3 layups, 2 free throws for his 8 points. He did have several assists but he cannot make a shot. He needed to stay 4 years to get better but unfortunately if he did that he would not get drafted. In year 2 of the NBA I see no improvement from his freshman year.

1) The Jazz are tanking to try and get a shot at getting Cooper Flagg. He has minimal help, and his team isn't really interested in winning this year.
2) He's the leading assist man for the Jazz this season.
3) He's averaging 16.5 points per game, is a high usage player, and his numbers have improved in every single statistical category in his second season.
Why do our fans like ****ting on our former players? Saying he should have stayed for 4 years is just dumb, straight-up.

He should have stayed 4 years? Nearly nobody who is NBA worthy stays 4 years.
The NBA has the top coaches and trainers in the world and as a professional athlete, the players can focus all of their time and efforts on being a professional athlete. These are some of the reasons why you see pretty good college players become unbelievably good once they enter the NBA. There are other factors at play as well, but these are the big ones that factor into that lead we see for a lot of players.
It may turn out Keyonte isn't as good as some people predicted him to be. Busts happen in every single draft and he may turn out to be a bust (I'm not saying he is on that trajectory, just saying it could happen). But none of that would have changed with 3 more years in college basketball. At some point, you either have "it" or you don't.
