The Orlando Magic were one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA last season. Is University of Miami guard Kyshawn George the answer to their problem?
ORLANDO — Could a trip down I-95 South lead the Orlando Magic to a player in the 2024 NBA Draft who can improve their shooting next season?
"George is an Orlando Magic player if I've ever seen one, with size and skill to play and guard multiple positions," CBS Sports writes. "Most importantly, he was a knock-down shooter in his one season at Miami, particularly off the catch. He could serve as a floor-spacer in Orlando while he develops his ball-handling and playmaking skills -- which I find incredibly intriguing.
While George's size and defensive value would be welcome, his outside shooting is the main attraction. He shot 40.8 percent on his 3-point attempts in his one season at Miami. ESPN said that with George's potential upside, it could be worth having him spend a season in the G-League to eliminate some of the questions about his game.
