2023 rankings were finalized on 6/22/23.

Height: 6-4

Classification: Freshman
Birthdate: 11/8/2003

2023 Top 100 Prospect Rank: 15

Pros:

Solid scorer off the dribble
Decent shooter
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker
Moves well off the ball on offense
Decent rebounder for his size
Decent defender
Solid athlete

Cons:

Streaky shooter
Can struggle to score in traffic
Prone to hoisting up questionable shots
Can be too scoring focused on offense

Not a true point guard, but is undersized to play the two

Summary:

Keyonte George is an agile, skilled combo guard that can score, defend, and handle the basketball.  He may need to show that he can reliably run the point, and he was incredibly streaky as a shooter this season, but his ability to make shots and defend combined with his athleticism could enable him to go high in the 2023 draft.
