"The Washington Wizards entered the season with several intriguing young players, most notably headlined by the likes of players such as Alex Sarr and Tre Johnson. Sarr had the opportunity to prove he could be the cornerstone player the Wizards have desperately been searching for, especially if he was able to showcase his potential as the two-way threat Washington was banking on him developing into in the frontcourt."
"So far this season, George looks like not only the most improved player in Washington, but the league. In 68 games as a rookie, George averaged 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists, while showing flashes of what he could offer for years to come. However, nobody expected his breakout to come in year two, nor did they expect it to be this much of a leap."
Washington entered the season with young prospects including Alex Sarr, Tre Johnson, and Will Riley. Sarr had an opportunity to develop into a two-way cornerstone in the frontcourt. Johnson and Riley entered the season with realistic Rookie of the Year hopes. Kyshawn George emerged as a breakout second-year player after strong Summer League, training camp, and preseason showings. An offseason injury to Bilal Couliably opened a starting role that George seized. As a rookie, George averaged 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists across 68 games. Through the first seven games of the new season, George is averaging 17.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.1 assists, demonstrating a significant leap in production.
