Kyshawn George

Circumstances might’ve forced Kyshawn George to be traded from the Big Apple to the nation’s capital on draft night, but as the Denver Nuggets can attest, his impact on March 15, 2025 nonetheless arrived in a “nick of time.” Finding end-of-clock triples to be well worth the investment on this night, Washington’s versatile rookie seemingly blends into the court’s scenery, drifting towards the weak side’s far corner with Denver’s defense fully invested in his teammate’s dribble. Prepared to replace Ball Arena’s “DEFENSE” chants with a stunned silence, George collects an across-the-court skip pass before burying a go-ahead trifecta in the final 10 seconds. Versatile as always, George’s cold-blooded bucket went accompanied by 19 points (on 6-of-11 shooting), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block, and four 3-pointers. The clutch display helped the Washington Wizards secure an unlikely regular-season series sweep of the postseason-bound Nuggets.
