Keyonte George

Was not a blue-chip recruit coming out of high school — he earned his way to a starting role at Baylor and then to the lottery.

His Baylor teammate Ja'Kobe Walter was drafted in the same class, making their shared college background part of the Jazz's vision.

Despite being just 20 when drafted, he moved into a starting role with confidence that far exceeded his experience.

Considered one of the better shot-creators from the 2023 class — a skill set Utah directly needs as it rebuilds.
