2023 Draft Profile - Keyonte George

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - June 21st: "There’s some fading appeal in scoring 2-guards who aren’t plus-playmakers and struggle defensively. Keyonte George sounds vulnerable to a slide, but his shot-making prowess should be too much for teams searching for more offensive firepower."

Kyle Irving - Sporting News - June 21st: "The Baylor freshman is already an NBA-caliber shot maker, he just has to refine his shot selection and decision-making."

Gary Parrish - CBS Sports - June 20th: "George would be a reasonable option if he's available given his ability to navigate pick-and-rolls, put pressure on defenses and score in bunches."

NBA Draft Room - May 16th: "An explosive guard with broad shoulders, the ability to finish through contact and high level 3pt ability. Didn’t have the most efficient season and will need to shoot the ball better."

John Fanta - Fox Sports - May 12: "He certainly has the room and time to grow at just 19 years. One added positive: George comes from a coach and program that forced him to get better as a defender."

Tyler Byrum and Chase Hughes - NBC Sports - May 8th: "Keyonte George is a talented scoring guard who struggled with consistency issues throughout the season with Baylor. When he gets downhill, there aren't many defenders who can slow him down or stop the 6-foot-4 guard's shot."

Bryan Kalbrosky - For the Win - May 5th: "Baylor’s Keyonte George will walk into the league as one of the best rebounders at his position. He grabbed 88.7 percent of his adjusted rebound chances, via AI-Powered statistics provided by Stats Perform, which is the best mark among all projected first-rounders regardless of position."

Krysten Peek - Yahoo! Sports - Jan. 30th: "NBA scouts are high on his ability to create separation for himself off the dribble and George is not one to back down from big moments when the game is on the line."

Chase Hughes - NBC Sports - Jan. 16: "For a player that has the speed and driving skills to score at will at the rim, Keyonte George loves to shoot the three ball. If his shot does start falling, expect the 6-foot-4 guard to climb up big boards because he has a lot of advanced playmaking skills."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - Jan. 5th: "They see a surefire scorer with dangerous shot-making versatility and range, attacking burst and enough passing feel for coaches to use him for playmaking."
