Givony has him in the 2nd round, and you want him considered for #11? Seems a reach - even if you are high on him as a sleeper you trade down

Keyonte George is the pick. The Mike Miller representation. The workout with Paolo. Unless this is a bluff.

At first I was a Dick guy lolll but I bet Dick is there at 11 and we go George. People will complain. They will be wrong. Within a year or 2 tops Keyonte will be a starting guard for us. Bucket after Bucket . Prob outplay whoever we choose at 6. I still am VERY open to packaging for a legit star if possible but if not George is my guy at 11.

Yessir! Grades out great analytically, one of the better college prospects from that angle. And the eye test is just...

His efficiency was better than Anthony Edwards, and that is the main knock against him. He's a better playmaker than Edwards. He's a three level scorer like Edwards. He's a lower grade athlete, which limits his ceiling. The comp to Beal is pretty good.

I would take Grady Dick over Keyonte George if it was between those two.

Hmm, he's all right. I prefer Keyonte over him, but I prefer him over Hawkins or Sensabaugh or Jett, etc.

Got it. Would be an ideal scenario and exactly what we need to cover for the fact the Fultz is likely the starting PG going forward.

I'm a big fan of George, Dick and Hawkins (in that order) and could see the Magic grabbing whichever one of them is available at that slot. -But given the choice, I'll go George here.

I’d still draft him tbh. Lol


Sure, but athleticism-wise, I dont think you can blame that on a bad day. He should be in top shape during the combind

Long, high upside, coming on strong towards end of the season. I think there’s a chance he could go top 10.


Uh, I think he is going in the late 1st round. Most mocks have him in the second round. Are you suggesting trading down from 11 for him?
