Keyshawn George, the surprise boss of the Wizards in Dallas

The script could have been shorter. After five minutes, Wizards were already down 23-9, especially suffering from Anthony Davis’ hitting. However, in Texas, Washington did not panic…
The team thus tightened the screw, increasing defensive efforts. Bab Carrington broke through screens, Alex Sarr imposed his long arms under the circle, and rookie Tre Johnson put a lot of pressure on opposing ball carriers. But at the heart of this rise was power above all else Kishawn George.
Used as a starter, but also as the main leader when the substitutes came in, he took the keys to the game. And in the absence of a true veteran manager, the sophomore was the boss on both ends of the floor.
“He has everything”
In attack, he controlled the pace, read situations well, finished sharply. In defense, he stepped up his efforts, challenged shots, cut passing lines. The statistical result is impressive: 34 points on 11/15 shooting, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. His best game in the NBA.
“He has everything”CJ McCollum said. “He can score at all three levels (three-pointers, mid-range and near the circle), dribbles well, and above all brings real defensive intensity. The total package.”
And when Dallas resurfaced in the fourth quarter behind Cooper Flagg, Washington didn’t waver. At 110-103, CJ McCollum deflected an open shot to serve up Kishawn George, alone in the corner. String.
An action that pretty well sums up the Elan Chalon-clad Swiss-Canadian’s impact during the meeting.
