Keyonte George shines in Utah Jazz's season opener, but starting point guard role remains uncertain

Utah Jazz rookie Keyonte George showed promise in the team's opening night game, despite not being the starting point guard. Coach Will Hardy explained that George's pairing with Jordan Clarkson was a good fit, as Clarkson provides a second threat offensively. However, the starting lineup struggled in their limited minutes together. Hardy also highlighted the benefit of having veteran Kris Dunn paired with George and Collin Sexton in the second unit. The Jazz lack a clear No. 1 option at point guard, with all three players prone to isolation basketball and high turnover rates. While George is seen as the team's point guard of the future, the coaching staff believes in gradually giving him more minutes to develop his game. George's strong performance off the bench earned him more playing time, and his style of play could lead to increased minutes in the future.
