Riser: Keyonte George

This feels like cheating a little bit because Keyonte George is already growing into a really good player on the NBA roster, but he was very impressive in the two games he played. He averaged 41% from the field and while he was rather average from three and didn't put up ridiculous rebounds or assist numbers, he showed the ability to get to the rim and to the charity stripe.

In two games, George shot 31 free throws and made 28 of them; those are Los Angeles Lakers numbers there. He scored 61 points in two games and nearly half of the points were free throws. It wasn't a perfect performance, but if George can draw fouls at those levels in the Association, he can give teams major headaches.
