STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • good size for a wing at 6‘6“ without shoes and a 6‘11“ wingspan. Has grown a lot in the past few years. Has a great frame that should fill out quite nicely
  • good athlete. Can play above the rim in space
  • plays with some swagger and a high motor. Defends multiple positions. Completely took Netherlands mega-prospect Tristan Enaruna out of the game at the 2016 NSDBC. Really likes to guard
  • team-oriented player. Always does the extra pass. Not focused on his own
  • better ball-handler than you would think, played quite a few minutes at the point guard position with Ehingen. Really creative. Has some feel
  • can play on and off the ball. Can facilitate or score in the post. Cuts regularly. Nice footwork and release point on his jump shot. Versatile
  • excellent rebounder. Plays really hard on the glass. Not afraid to throw his body around
  • quite experienced for his age: Has already played a lot of games in the NBBL/U19 league and at
    the 2016 NSDBC and 2017 U16 European Championship.
  • Good not great athlete. Doesn‘t consistently play above the rim in raffic. Not super explosive by NBA standards. Still has a lot of room for improvements physically
  • struggles to score at a high level. Has some potential as a jump shooter but can‘t make shots consistently. Slow release. Afraid of shooting off the bounce. Not a confident driver
  • doesn‘t have an aggressive scoring approach. Can really disappear in games with peers who are as talented as him. Not always focused
  • decision-making under ball pressure is a work in progress.
OUTLOOK
After a phenomenal 2016/2017 JBBL/NBBL season with Ehingen Urspringen, Jason George decided to move to Ratiopharm Ulm. He had a disappointing U16 European Championship where he looked passive and completely disappeared at times on the offensive end. Ulm will need to address his scoring mentality and shooting moving forward. Even without a great showing at the U16‘s, George is likely to become one of the best european wings in his generation.
