The Utah Jazz drafted Keyonte George 16th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, hoping to repeat history with the selection. After all, the Jazz did pretty well by drafting another tweener guard at No. 13 overall in 2017. That of course was Donovan Mitchell. George is taller than Mitchell but has a smaller frame, but many of their skills are close to one another, and the concerns about each man seem similar.
Mitchell came out of nowhere and should have, rightfully, won the NBA Rookie of the Year award, and the hope is that George has the same emergence.
