Be patient with Keyonte George and it may be worth the wait. The Utah Jazz rookie has a lot to learn, but he’s already showing promising flashes, The Athletic writes.
Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George as the Utah Jazz host the LA Clippers, NBA basketball in Salt Lake City on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023.’s evolution will not be linear. There will be high points.
