When the Utah Jazz were on the clock for the 16th overall pick on Thursday night, they were fully aware of their plan.
Keyonte George from Baylor had impressed the Jazz and had been ranked in their top 10, so it was a stroke of luck that he was still available at the 16th spot. The Jazz front office felt fortunate, and George himself felt equally blessed when he learned he was headed to Utah.
"It's like a dream come true," George expressed with tears of joy. "Throughout this process, Utah was one of the destinations I really liked. So, when I heard Utah call my name... There's an overwhelming rush of emotions, all positive. I'm just thrilled."
What stands out the most about George for the Jazz is his potential to develop into a versatile NBA guard capable of contributing in various aspects of the game. He exhibits great skill and creativity when handling the ball, remaining composed even when faced with defensive pressure. On the contrary, George puts immense pressure on opposing defenses through his exceptional ball handling and ability to create space for himself.
George is determined to generate the best scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. He excels at taking smart shots from the perimeter and attacking the rim with confidence, finishing with finesse using both hands and fearlessly embracing contact to draw fouls and convert at the free-throw line.
