Right around this time last year I was assigned my first big writing assignment, I was writing a draft profile on the prolific freshman guard out of Baylor, Keyonte George. I took this assignment way too serious; I would go to the gym and watch hours of Keyonte tape while hitting the elliptical. I watched his high school tape, watched his shooting mechanics, and compared it to the best shooters in the league, I even watched his interviews to see if his character was right for the NBA.
