Kyshawn George

The shooting is expected but I’m most pleased by his defensive performances thus far.

The knock on him in college was a limited game off the dribble/finishing inside. Nice to see that creative finish in the lane.

Indeed. He is surpassing any previous expectations in publicly-available scouting reports of the usual suspects. Two things look much better than advertised: his D and his ball-handling. The latter looked worrisome in summer league but he has clearly cut down his turnovers.

Exciting to think that this FO may have found a gem in the late 1st round!

Fun to watch this kid play!

Or even more hopeful: that they’ve built a place where young talents do develop and grow. Like Bilal this year. Deni last year.

And possibly the rooks over the summer. Kyshawn in particular. But also Bub and Sarr.

The knocks on Kyshawn even going back to Europe was that he was lazy on Defense and passive on offense. He doesn’t look that way here at all. Fiery and locked in. Yapping at Draymond. And slapping the gas mask symbol on his face with every 3. Not sure who to credit for that but all of the young cats seem to carry themselves that way.

Love the attitude as much as the results. Eventually that kind of focus turns talented players to winners.

Otto Porter had no swag, no dawg. Kyshawn was pushing Draymond green, standing over someone and yapping after he had gotten pushed a few plays earlier, and shot 17 3s in one game. Porter with that attitude would have been a big time player. Kyshawn is showing signs he might become one.

No lie, I was not expecting this from a Swiss player

I’ve been impressed by the confidence with which George plays. He acts like he belongs…and expects to make plays on both ends of the court.

The lowest of our 3 could turn out to be the best. Of course it's way too early
to make those kind of predictions. But like many others here, I do like what I see
in this kid a lot.

[The Consiglieri]

It's an all 3 kind of thing. I was just hoping to get a complimentary player out of the draft that was adequate, that we may have pulled 3 different prospects, all uniformly higher in upside and floor than every single selection made between 2013-2022 is flat out hysterical, and doubly so when you consider that this class was regarded as the worst in decades. Its flat out nuts. Way too early and tiny sample size, but all 3 of these guy already look like they easily have more upside than mega busts and disappointments from every single class since Wall got injured from Troy Brown (right before) to Hachimura to Deni to Kispert to Davis. Just crazy, and of course you can really probably run it back to Beal in 2012 before you find a prospect that could give these guys a run (along with Deni, and Porter).

That's what amazes me. I was skeptical of this selection, I was meh to cautiously optimistic about Bub, and was glad they took Sarr, and looking at it now, it looks like the floor of these guys would be quality package flips to trade in the future and legit complimentary problems, potentially, at minimum. Blown away so far. Great job by the FO, but I have to admit, its scaring the hell out of me that they could get the team to overperform and risk us not only losing out on the studs from this class, but conveying the pick over in that Wall trade from years ago. Praying we continue to lose the vast bulk of our games. The saving grace so far is that none of the clearly tanking teams are actually tanking terribly effectively (through 6-9 games there are zero teams that are winless, or stuck on just 1 win). Hopefully they develop but the team as a whole sucks.

I don't think there is any chance the pick conveys this year. It is top 10 protected. Next year could be dicey though (top 8 protected).

[The Consiglieri]

Thanks, very good news there, but w/the dumb--- changes to the lottery, we need to keep it within a certain target window to avoid the risk, I think bottom 7 or 8?

[payitforward]

We are down13.5 points per game to the league. Only Utah is worse (at 13.9).

The only teams with worse records so far have simply played more games than we have.

We are starting 3 guys who would have been in high school 18 months ago.

George is already much better than Kispert. Great pick by Dawkins & co.

George at #8

[DCZards]

Absolutely must show some love for Kyshawn George who has quietly emerged as maybe the Zards most versatile player. Had 11pts, 6rebs, and 2 stls tonight against Minny.

Kyshawn is an excellent defender and passer, and has shown the ability to get to the rim. And lately he’s been knocking down the 3 ball.

George shows a lot of poise for a rook.

Agreed. He just needs to be consistent shooting 3s. If he can get to 35-36% over a season, he is a quality pick at #24.

No way any one can look at this kid and not see money! He's solid. And gonna be a fantastic defender ! If he gets his 3 dialed in at more than average and gets a few moves down he'll be Trevor Ariza plus!
