Kyshawn George started the regular season not only just as he expected, but as the fanbase hoped he could on opening night.
Despite the loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, the second-year man looked like the emerging star that the coaching staff has raved about since returning to the team during training camp.
Following his strong offseason with impressive stints in Summer League and FIBA EuroBasket play with Team Canada, the hype train surrounding George officially left the station and continued to gain steam as the season approached.
In 32 minutes of play against the Bucks, not only did George look the part of a focal piece on offense, but he carried the heavy weight of taking on the defensive matchup against former MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
