Summary

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, remains bullish on Keyonte George despite concerning shooting statistics. George's sub-40% field goal percentage and sub-35% three-point shooting in his first two NBA seasons place him in a category where only 18% of players historically become viable NBA contributors. However, Locke sees potential in George's ability to create off-the-bounce threes and his raw talent, believing maturity will improve shot selection and defensive focus.

1:28.4	And honestly, it didn't go in that much. Kianti finishes his second year in the NBA overall shooting
