Keyonte is elite and is already the focus of opposing defenses. His inefficiency is the result of so little offensive talent around him, especially with Cryer out. Anyone expecting perfection in the current situation is just setting themselves up for frustration and disappointment. At the end of the day basketball is a team game.
Elite college players aren't inefficient. That's the point. If you're inefficient, regardless of the reason, you're not an elite player.

All elite players are the focus of opposing defenses. They don't shoot 38 percent from the field and have more turnovers than assists.

And expecting more than the above is not expecting perfection. It's expecting a supposed star player to play like a star. If he's not capable of doing that, he shouldn't be leaned on so heavily.
The bolded simply is not true. Look at stars on bad teams on any level - college and pro - and you will see inefficiency (high turnovers, low fg%).
Those guys aren't stars. They're just high-usage players. Volume scorers.

Baylor currently has one star/elite player, and his name is Adam Flagler.
Flagler is having a great season, and I love what he has done for Baylor, but he is not a star and is not an elite player. He will have a great overseas career if he chooses, but will not sniff the NBA.
I don't give a **** about the NBA (until the playoffs, and then I'll watch the Mavericks). I'm a Baylor fan who cares about college basketball.

Adam Flagler is an elite college basketball player. Keyonte George is not.
Well, you said Flagler is elite. NBA is a measure of elite. And I don't give a **** if you give a **** whether or not about the NBA.
No, it's not. Performance is the measure on elite college players.

You're measuring talent. I'm measuring production. The latter means way more.
