NBA Mock Draft: The best team fits for the top 10 prospects of the 2023 class
9. Keyonte George, G, Baylor
Best team fit: Washington Wizards
With the amount of uncertainty that revolves around the Washington Wizards and potentially Bradley Beal heading into the offseason, I’m not really sure if there’s an expectation of what to expect from this team. However, with another top-10 pick, look for the Wizards to try to hit on this year’s pick, something that it appears (for now) they failed to do last season.
Keyonte George is an interesting player that could fit in Washington, no matter what happens with Beal. George has been a lightning rod of an offensive player for Baylor during his freshman season and may still be just scratching the surface of the player that he can be at full development.
There is one concern for George, though, and it’s the fact that he may be viewed as somewhat of a volume scorer at this point. The big question for the Wizards is whether or not they can continue to develop George to a point where he becomes more than just that.
