In the previous group match of the Men's Basketball Team America's Group B, Canada defeated Venezuela 88-54, achieving a good start in the Copa America, while Venezuela suffered a blow.
In this game, the performance of Canadian backcourt star Kyshawn George, who currently plays for the Washington Wizards, is impressive. George played 29 minutes and 56 seconds in the game, made 7 of 13 shots, 4 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 0 of 1 free throws. He scored the highest score of 18 points plus 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He also had 4 turnovers and 1 foul, and the plus and negative value also reached the highest +29 in the game. George defeated all sides on the offensive end, showing comprehensive scoring ability, and it seems that his stability in outside shooting is far beyond everyone's expectations. The most important thing is that George's performance on the defensive end is also very outstanding. He showed his strong personal defensive ability, and his role on the defensive end is obvious to all. George's role in both offense and defense is decisive, which is also an important factor in the Canadian team being able to easily win such a victory.
George was born in December 2003 and is 21 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 91kg. He was a backcourt player from the University of Miami who was selected by the Wizards in the 24th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft last year. George has a very good static talent. He is also a player with a very comprehensive ability on the court. He is competent for roles in multiple positions. He can play his role on both offense and defense. He is also a player with a high ball quotient and can play some pass and support tasks. It seems that George is a player with a high ceiling, and I believe this is also an important factor in the Wizards' choice to use a first-round pick to win this young player with a relatively average maturity and not particularly outstanding performance in the NCAA arena.
In the NBA regular season last season, George made a total of 68 appearances for the Wizards. He averaged 26.5 minutes per game, with averaging 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.7 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 37.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 32.2%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 75.3%. George's performance last season was not ideal. He did not have the effect he should have on both offense and defense, and he also seemed a mess in offensive efficiency. However, in the previous NBA Summer League, George's performance was eye-catching. He played 2 times for the Wizards, averaging 31.5 minutes per game, with averaging 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 4 steals per game, and 3.5 turnovers and 5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 23.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%. In addition to the fact that his stability in outside shooting is still poor, George has indeed shown a high dominance in other aspects. I wonder if this Copa America game can help George improve his self-confidence and accumulate experience. Can he perform at a higher level in the NBA field in the new season?
