Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Kobe George
Class: 2023
Committed to: Queens
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
'He's a long, rugged, athletic wing prospect who excels at doing the little things and outworking his assignment as a defender and rebounder. George knocked down an array of perimeter jumpers, but still consistently got downhill and finished through contact. He can assume initiation and playmaking duties if necessary. George is terrific in transition and displays feel on both ends of the floor. He also offers quickness, footwork, and the ability to play bigger than his size would imply. Coach Palmore on George: 'Kobe is a very good athlete. Attacks, strong with the ball. Must work on shot selection and time/score situations. Has the ability to let his defense create more offense for the team.' George proved to be an asset at camp, and should be a definite difference-maker for Winston-Salem Christian over the foreseeable future.'
'When his team was struggling to find success in the first half, George was the consistent threat offensively and defensively, and he stepped up in key situations in the second half to ultimately lead his team. With his strong body, he is able to create and get downhill, embrace contact or get to the line, but also knocked down shots from outside. Love his vocal leadership and is like a second coach on the court.'
'When you talk about George's game on the court, several things stand out about him. Whether it is his scoring ability, his athleticism, or his impact in other areas, but one factor in his game that immediately grabs your attention is the energy that this young man plays with. So, we had to ask him more about his mindset every time he steps on the court.'
'George has been a natural leader and glue-guy with IQ, toughness, athleticism, and adaptability for as long as memory serves. He does the little things to impact winning, from communicating to diving on the floor to making the extra pass, and consistently stands out as a great teammate. George is a quality initiator who understands how to run a team with poise, get others involved, and set the tone defensively. He's excellent at getting downhill and applying pressure as a finisher, but can also knock down perimeter jumpers at a respectable clip. George is a phenomenal rebounder for his size/position and effortlessly pushes the break in transition. Although each of the attributes above holds value, his mentality is a massive part of what makes him so appealing. Having someone with his level of tenacity and desire to win is only going to pay dividends in the long run.'
