I'm not sure he's a top-10 guy, but I like him too. I've been watching him a while. He's a very confident shooter and a disciplined positional defender with good length. He's well-coached coming from Europe, but hasn't really worked on his body much. He gets up off of two feet, but really lacks explosiveness and elevation off of one foot. If he can get with a training staff, he's a standout for me.

I just think every player in this draft has some huge red flags. But George is a good basketball player in every way - his issue is only his body, and he looks like that is improvable, IMO, so that sounds like a smaller red flag than any of the other wings in this draft (Holland can't shoot and might have poor basketball IQ; Buzelis might not be able to shoot at all even though the stroke looks reasonable; if Risacher is not an elite shooter he's just a nice 3+D player, etc.; frankly I'm not sure if Cody Williams is great at anything, I think he might just be "okay" at a lot). I'd love for us to draft him. Not saying I'd take him over the other guys (though I might over Buzelis), but at 9 he has a lot of appeal if you are choosing between guys like Collier, Clingan, etc.
