Beyond the game

George is the son of professional player Jason Siggers and grew up around the game in the talent-rich Dallas area, winning FIBA 3x3 Under-18 World Cup MVP as a teenager. That pedigree and confidence show in a fearless scoring mentality that he carried from Baylor into an expanding NBA role.

His on-court identity is shot creation and scoring — a combo guard who makes his own shot, gets to the free-throw line at an elite rate, and has grown into a lead playmaker averaging six assists a game. His field-goal efficiency is still developing, but his rising scoring, playmaking, and shooting mark him as Utah's backcourt of the future.
