Kenny George, 7'8 NCAA player

[damelo]

Well, he shall be drafted as NBA still is obsesed by size...

At 7'8, he seems to have the head in the basket... Even the opponent center looks like a kid.

George had 19 points and 11 rebounds in 24 minutes tonight as UNC-Asheville beat Liberty to advance to the Big South Conference final on Saturday.

There is one huge plus for Big Kenny - he loves the game of basketball.
90% of the 7'2+ player play basketball simply because they are tall, not for the love of the game.
If he automate his midrange setshot, improves footwork on both D and O and stays injury free, he will have the opportunity to contribute in small/mid-level euroleagues or USA minor leagues, or be a set player in ULEB teams.

Do you completely put him out of the NBA?

Not completely, but he have almost no chance to sign something more than several 10day contracts. NBA game is becoming way too fast and the big mans can score with midrangeJ or beat him with power dribble.
Even as D-specialist he will be useless, because he wont be able to camp the paint and block shots.

Yes, I see your point. He's in fact tremendously slow, not a Mureşan type that's for sure, and that he simply cannot improve.

God! An only one option of inbound play to Kenny George who is always positioning inside the paint.

[bigyellow]

does anyone knows if kenny stays for his senior year at UNC-ASHVILL?
another question: can he get taller?

[Charbel Sakr]

definitely nba material. he is expected to be a top 10 pick in the 09 draft
but i dont think he will be anything special

[BigMac]

Kenny is extremely slow but that is because his stamina is terrible. He does not get up and down the floor well without getting winded. His conditioning needs to improved 100 fold before he is anywhere NBA ready. He also needs to improve his footwork and attend some more NBA Big Man camps to improve his game. I would put his chances of an NBA career as more of an outside chance and if he makes it in, he will be a role player.

That said, I would pay good money to watch a semi-pro game with Sun Ming Ming vs Kenny George

[bobo81]

I watched some of his games including when they played another no body team in march madness. He is horrible. It's pretty bad when the 5 footers on his team would rather drive to the rim than pass to him.

[pepman]

Super tall, super giant!

Reptar, help me!
