Kyshawn George · To earn the much-deserved showering of praise from the Golden State Warriors’ soon-to-be Hall of Famers, Kyshawn George found that the formula was quite ironic: a torrential 3-point downpouring of his own. In a breakout-like performance that encouraged the flying of long-range trifectas and trash-talking barbs all the same, the Washington Wizards’ No. 24 pick settles into a weakside spot along the 3-point wing’s opposite side. Zeroed in on a catch-and-shoot fire from the moment the basketball arrives, George works an in-rhythm stepback, leaving him balanced and poised to bury a bucket over Kyle Anderson’s contest. En fuego in what became a Splash Brother-esque shooting showcase, George’s retreating triple marked his fifth-consecutive behind-the-arc bucket, allowing Washington to temporarily threaten a comeback, even during an eventual defeat. Marking November 4, 2024 as one to remember, George sprayed out 19 shot attempts — 17 of them from 3-point range — turning in the first 20-point game of any 2024 NBA draftee, alongside six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four treys. · State of Mint
