George De Paula, a 6'6" point guard from Brazil, is a unique playmaker whose exceptional size for his position creates mismatches and vision advantages on the court. Playing for Vivo Franca in the Brazilian league, De Paula is the engine of his team's offense. Born in 1996 in São Paulo, he has spent much of his career in his home country, developing a reputation as a gifted passer and solid defender. His height allows him to see over smaller defenders and make passes others cannot, while also being able to guard multiple positions. He has been a cornerstone for Franca, helping them compete at the top of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). While he has yet to make a significant move to a major European league, his talent is widely recognized, and he has been a staple for the Brazilian national team. De Paula represents the modern trend of oversized, skilled ball-handlers.
