Keyonte George's trip to the lottery would end up differing a bit from how players typically represent their respective teams during the events in Chicago. Instead of taking the next flight out back to Utah, George made a clear statement by taking the extra time to stay in the gym and get a firsthand look at whoever his team's next top draft pick might be. "Keyonte was there as the representative for the draft lottery," said NBA.com's Krysten Peek. "Typically players leave that night or the next day. I've never seen a player stay for combine testing and scrimmages. Key truly loves being in the gym and he wanted to watch his future teammate. Whoever the Jazz pick." It sticks out as yet another example of George taking the next step of being a standout leader within the Jazz's young core. He's made those strides in the building all throughout his third year pro, has taken a massive step forward in terms of his production on the floor, and even when he's not performing on the floor, those standout leadership qualities continue to show in moments like this. Spending some extra time watching this year's class in action working out at the combine probably comes off as an easy sell too. When pairing the Jazz's top selection at the number two spot with the talent they'll have the ability to get their hands on––whether it be AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, or Cameron Boozer––they'll be sure to have a premier place in this franchise's future. So for Keyonte, he was wasting no time getting a deeper look at what the next generation could have in store. And in just a few weeks’ time, one of those aforementioned three will almost certainly be teaming up with him in a Jazz uniform.
