Kyshawn George's remarkable growth spurt over the past five years could land him with the Toronto Raptors as a first-round pick at No. 19
There was nothing particularly remarkable about his stat line as a freshman. He averaged 7.6 points per game while shooting 42.6% from the field with only a slightly positive assist-to-turnover ratio. Compared to others in this year’s class, those are pretty pedestrian numbers.
George has an unusual ability to pair wing size with the guard skills he developed growing up as a point guard. He can shoot threes at a high level and with some more refinement, it’s not hard to see George developing into a high-end prospect. “The Raptors were one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA last year both in terms of 3-point makes and accuracy and will need to continue to surround Scottie Barnes with enough floor spacing to keep opposing defenses honest,” wrotein his latest mock draft that has George landing in Toronto.
