Not just the pace, but the rules. George is moderately effective in college because he can stand 3' in front of the basket, waiting for players to drive. On offense, he can stand 3' in front of the basket with his hands up, waiting for the ball.
In the pros, the three-second rules would destroy his effectiveness...to block a shot George would need the lateral quickness to get from the edge of the key to the front of the rim at the same time as the ball-handler. Ain't happening. Offensively, he'd need to move quickly into the lane to establish position within a couple seconds. Again, ain't happening.
If there were five rounds rather than two, George would still be waiting in the audience. It's too bad that he has little shot at the NBA, because he seems like a great kid and his height is more curse than stroke of luck, but his best shot at making a career out of basketball is in Europe, where his lack of athleticism will likely rendered him a role player (at best), just as it did with Pavel Podkolzine.
**** your asterisk.
