On the other side, I have only seen him a few times but I have liked what I have seen from Keyonte George. You always have to wonder if it is real or just a player putting up stats on a bad team. To me, it looks pretty real. He went to my college but had no real grasp of the type of talent he was. If I remember he was a top recruit entering college but dropped back some after an up and down freshman season.
George was pretty much an inefficient chucker in his first two seasons. Putting up decent counting stats on a bad team and bad efficiency, so basically empty stats. This season he has improved a lot, but I still have doubt he can be a starting level piece on a contender. He has 6.9 assists per game, but also 3.5 turnovers. His eFG% is at 53, which is ok. Not a good defender.
