Baylor guard Keyonte George is one of the more polarizing prospects in the entire draft.

He’s got innate offensive instincts and a strong defensive drive, but will it be enough to land himself in the top-five of the 2023 NBA Draft?

Draft Digest writer Derek Parker took a film dive into the combo guard’s talents:

George has averaged 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game so far this season, shooting 39 percent from the field and 35 percent from beyond the arc.

The efficiency hasn’t been there so far for the former IMG Academy standout, but he's played for an underwhelming Baylor team that has asked plenty of the 19-year-old.

Despite that, his offense has passed the eye test with flying colors. Per Draft Digest's earlier scouting report: "He’s also got a variety of moves in his offense game that he’s not afraid to use on that end of the floor. Whether it’s dribble moves, jabs or pump fakes, George is crafty with the ball in his hands and still finds ways to get himself open in a more methodical manner."

Baylor and George are back in action on Thursday, March 9 at 11:30 a.m. to kick off the Big 12 tournament.
