Jason George is a 6’6 shooter from Europe that has some shooting upside, which prompted me to dive a little more into his game as he likely scales up in Europe, with a longshot upside of playing at the back end of an NBA or G League roster. On the year, George averaged 4.3 PPG, 2 RPG, 0.9 APG, 0.2 SPG, 0.1 BPG, and 0.8 TOPG on splits of 40/29/68 in 14 MPG. Below is his full scouting report:
Name: Jason George
Height/Weight: 6’6/202
Wingspan/ standing reach: N/A
Hand size: N/A
Position: Wing
Pre-Draft team: Chemnitz 99
Tools: Shooting
Pros:
- Quick jump shot
Cons:
- Stiff defender
- Needs to get stronger; gets bullied by slashers
- Minimal vertical athlete
Swing Skills:

- Overcoming athleticism
Summary:
Jason George could find himself as a shooting specialist at 6’6 with a quick release, but will need to improve efficiency before NBA teams give him a look. With limited athleticism, stiff defense, and a lack of current strength, teams will be able to bully George on the defensive end, and with the ball in his hands.
