Kyshawn George drafted by the Washington Wizards with the No. 24 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft
Time to start buying those Washington Wizards jerseys if you have not already, Miami Nation — Kyshawn George is a Wizard.
Kyshawn George is headed to Washington. With the No. 24 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Wizards selected the 6-foot-7 guard out of Miami to make Miami its fifth only player to get drafted out of the first round.
George committed to Miami back in April of 2023 and singed with the program a day after on April 20.
In the 2023-24 campaign Kyshawn solidified himself coming off as 6th man, but due to some injuries in the starting line, he got his time to start his first game against Clemson which he finished with 12, now he is a rotation starter on the team.
Kyshawn does move well for his size but he does have to develop his technique and speed on the defensive side of the ball. He can guard on the perimeter, but sometimes struggles against quicker, more shifty players
Kyshawn always makes the right play at the right time when he played for Miami, he also took care of the ball well. He’s starting to figure out how to leverage his size in mismatches on both ends of the floor.
He ended up averaging 7.6 points per game to go along with 3.0 rebound and 2.2 assist per game, he also had a career high against Wake Forest with 21 points.
Best of luck to Kyshawn in the NBA.
