Keyonte George’s sophomore season has started out bumpy. Outside of a 33-point outburst against the Chicago Bulls, George has struggled shooting the basketball. Through eight games, he’s averaged 15.6 points on 32.2% shooting from the field and 30.0% shooting from three. Although this is a small sample size, George currently stands as the least efficient starting guard in the league. Why has he struggled shooting the ball so much?
Let’s first take a look at his finishing. George attempts about 2.4 shots from within five feet of the basket per game, converting on only 42.1% on those attempts.
