CU men's basketball: George King ready to take his shot

George King is not unlike other basketball players when it comes to shooting the ball.

When the Colorado sophomore is able to grip the ball on the seams, he's usually more accurate, he said. When the seams are off, sometimes his shot is as well.

Learning to be more accurate with or without the seams is what King calls "an underrated skill" in basketball, and it's one that he's trying to improve upon.

In fact, King has spent a lot of time over the past year working on a variety of skills, and after redshirting during the 2014-15 season, the 6-foot-6 wing from San Antonio could play a significant role in helping CU recover from last year's 16-18 season.
