Keyonte George 2023 NBA Draft Profile (Combine Results, Measurements and Scouting Report for Baylor Standout)

Baylor guard Keyonte George enters the 2023 NBA Draft as one of the clear-cut top prospects available. Boasting great aggressiveness, crafty ball-handling skills and a smooth shooting stroke, the potential is there for George to become a star at the next level.

Here's everything you need to know about Keyonte George before the 2023 NBA Draft.

Keyonte George Scouting Report and Draft Prediction

Keyonte George arrived on Baylor's campus surrounded by high expectations as one of the top recruits in the 2022 class. He didn't let the hype bother his game on the court, though, as he played with poise on a Baylor roster otherwise made up of veteran players. His foundational skills shined as George showed incredible burst and physicality that allowed him to complete drives to the hoop.

Those skills helped George average 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 33 games played (28.6 minutes per game). He scored 20 or more points in 12 different games and was regularly called on to score when the game was on the line. The 19-year-old wasn't just a scorer, either, as he displayed quick hands on the defensive end of the court and moved his feet to block driving lanes.

There is no such thing as a perfect prospect, though, as George's willingness to take contested shots over and over again proved frustrating at times. He only finished the year with a 37.6% shooting percentage, which is not a mark that will get it done at the NBA level. George will need to improve when it comes to picking the best time to shoot the ball versus the best time to pass the ball around.

Overall, George proved he is not afraid of the spotlight in college and plays with aggressiveness both around the rim and along the perimeter. Finding the sweet spot in that aggressiveness could provide him with a lengthy career. The Orlando Magic stick out as a potential landing spot given their lack of scoring depth outside of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. George could surge into that No. 3 spot.

Prediction: Orlando Magic (Round 1, 11th overall)
