Baylor freshman Keyonte George, a projected top-10 pick, will forgo his college eligibility and enter the 2023 NBA draft, he told ESPN on Tuesday.
"Playing for coach Scott Drew was a blessing," George said. "He's a coach that not only cares about you as a player but also outside of basketball. He prepared me in many ways, especially focusing on the little things. He knew I was talented and could score, but he helped lock in defensively, knowing rotations, where to be. Being at Baylor this past season, I feel like I was able to make a jump on that side of the ball.
