Kyshawn George

Discovering the needed creativity to outsmart the always-connected Boston Celtics defense, the 2024 No. 24 pick counters their switch-everything approach with tireless movement, ultimately finding a backdoor crevice following a sideline out-of-bounds play. Explosive in taking full advantage of his one-step advantage on Neemias Queta, George elevates, checking off the milestone through a powerful two-handed flush. The Washington Wizards were unable to overcome the sizzling shooting and teamwork of the defending-champions, though George left himself as a bright spot nonetheless. Setting the groundwork for a productive, high-scoring few weeks to follow, George contributed four points, three rebounds, two assists, and a steal across a memorable 20-minute debut.
