Not many people saw this coming, except for Washington Wizards teammate Alex Sarr, who has witnessed the tremendous work George has put in this summer.
“I saw it all offseason and when he played with Canada. He’s using his body well, he’s playing with pace, which he was already doing last year, but now it’s even better. I’m very excited to see the year he’s gonna have.” Sarr said about George via ClutchPoints’ Joshua Valdez.
