On the other side, I have only seen him a few times but I have liked what I have seen from Keyonte George. You always have to wonder if it is real or just a player putting up stats on a bad team. To me, it looks pretty real. He went to my college but had no real grasp of the type of talent he was. If I remember he was a top recruit entering college but dropped back some after an up and down freshman season.
Markkanen turns 29 in a few months. The idea that they are building around him is just BS. They are building around Dybantsa and George. They have been grooming Dybantsa for years. I guarantee you that they either get Dybantsa outright or they´ll offer Markkanen to whoever is in the top 4 for a pick swap. Assuming Atlanta gets AD. Do they really say no to Markkanen + #7 pick for Dybantsa?
