Jazz PG’s Stunning Transformation: What’s Fueling His Sudden Rise?

Ever wonder what it takes for a young NBA guard to transform overnight from a promising rookie into a savvy floor general who’s suddenly got defenders biting at every fake? Well, that’s exactly what’s happening with Utah Jazz’s 21-year-old Keyonte George this season — and it’s turning heads faster than you can say “offensive mastermind.” While many might have written off the Jazz as a team stuck in rebuilding limbo, George’s blossoming game is whispering a different story — one of high IQ moves, clutch free throws, and a youngster who’s clearly upped his basketball IQ in a major way. Could this be the kind of spark that lights a fire under the entire franchise? Stick around.

Most people don’t envision the Utah Jazz having a season worth remembering, but some people think they are laying the foundation for a bright and exciting future.

They have a few young players who could lead the team, including 21-year-old guard Keyonte George.

Writing on social media, Ben Anderson talked about how George has greatly improved in the new season.

“One of the areas Keyonte George has really improved is just knowing the tricks of playing the PG position. He gets guys leaning and draws fouls to get easy points at the free-throw line. High IQ stuff that is a major addition early this season,” Anderson posted on X.

The numbers confirm that Anderson is right: George is playing a much smarter form of basketball.

Last season, he attempted 4.3 free throws per game, landing 3.5 of them.

In 2025-26, those numbers have climbed to 9.0 free throw attempts with 8.3 makes.

So far this season, he is averaging 21.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 8.8 assists.

His work on the court has improved in just about every way, and he has started in all six games.

It is clear that the Jazz are noticing the work that George has done, and they want to reward him with more minutes and chances to keep getting better.

His work on the court has evolved, and it seems that he is playing with more maturity and commitment.

He is transforming into the sort of guard the Jazz might want for years to come.

If George continues to play like this, he could be in contention for Most Improved Player, which would be a huge honor for him and his young team.
