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.

Locke analyzes George's effective field goal percentage, comparing him to successful guards like Donovan Mitchell, Ja Morant, and Anthony Simons. He argues that George's skill set, combined with expected maturation at age 21, could lead to significant improvement. The podcast also covers the NBA player poll results, notes from recent playoff games, and conducts a mock draft lottery where the Jazz slide to the fifth pick, presenting potential trade scenarios involving Trae Young or Zion Williamson.
