Kyshawn George vs. Clemson

Jan 4, 2024

Really impressive first half shooting performance from Kyshawn George last night. Still has some stuff to clean up in terms of protecting the basketball, but I believe that will come as he continues to grow into his body. This is a guy who had a 6-7 inch growth spurt not too long ago. What I loved is his confidence shooting the basketball - even when he missed a couple he did not hesitate and kept letting it fly. As ACC teams become more familiar with his shooting ability, he's going to have an opportunity to get to the lane and make plays as well.

Such a great addition by Coach L and staff.

You can see how much he’s already physically developed compared to that picture in the thumbnail of my interview with him. Looks leaner and more toned. Met him a couple months back and he’s not “skinny” either

I’ve been impressed with his passing ability. Every game he makes a couple of high level passes. If he can be a point guard for us into the thick of ACC play, it just gives the team so much more diversity with lineups.

One thing Iike about him is that he's fearless for a freshman. He attacks the basketball and shoots long range... always looking to score. Defensively, his size and reach is tough for opposing guards..

Great game last night. Going to be fun watching his development throughout the conference schedule.

Go Canes!!

He’s further along in his development than Wooga and Isaiah at the same point here.

That bodes well for the future.

He has been great. His weakness right now is getting to the basket. He gets stopped or fumbles the ball a little too much, but that will get better.

Major pick up and I hope he’s here at least two years.

Could be a one and done, that is saying something

I don't see that at all. Needs at least another season to mature and work on his all-round game.

This kid is really progressing.

As someone mentioned, he has to be more floor aware when handling the basketball.

He is getting stripped from behind once or twice a game.

Some scouting report after Kyshawn's first few games said his defense was a minus and that "he doesn't have good lateral movement." If that ever was true, I don't see it anymore. He plays hard on the defensive end and uses his size well to pressure his man/passing lanes.
