Paul George Assessment am I wrong or right?

[Bledswole]

First let’s look at his numbers:

Dude is a career 20 PPG scorer on 43,38,84 shooting

I’ve always thought PG was the smoothest SF in the league and most talented but he lacks heart and killer instinct.

When I say most talented I don’t mean the best,Lebron,KD,Kawhi and Tatum are all better BUT PG has a point guard handle and elusiveness these guys don’t have,he’s a great jumper off one and two feet,can finish at the rim,hit the mid range,fadeaway and is money from deep and the free throw line,he just never can put it all together.

Game 6 of this past series he scored 41 points on 75% shooting if you just watched that game and watched how George played didn’t know anything about basketball you’d probably think he was the best player in the world.

Game 6&4 George showed flashes of what I’m talking about but he never shows up all the time in big moments and I think he’s ok with being good and doesn’t want to be Great. I really don’t think he wants to be a #1 option he’s cool with being a second fiddle. Not saying this hasn’t been seen but he’s really got the talent to be a top 3-5 player in the league just never will get there.

Am I off base or spot on?

What’s y’all thoughts?

In what world does PG have more talent than LeBron James or Kevin Durant?

[CHICAGO]

HIS HANDLE IS OVERRATED
AND HES NEVER BEEN ABLE
TO CONSISTENTLY GET BY DEFENDERS.

THIS SEASON HE INCORPORATED
THE TATUM PUSH OFF ON
HIS DRIVES AND IT HELPED A TON.

ONCE AGAIN.
HES KLAY THOMPSON
WITH A BETTER HANDLE
BUT WORSE JUMP SHOT.

In your list of what he can do, point out something on that list that Durant can't do as well or better?

He’s a TERRIBLE decision maker with the ball. Why in God’s name are you throwing the ball there Paul?

With that being said everybody forgot the shot off the backboard so Kudos to him

THATS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH 2DAYS GM.

THEY WANNA TURN EVERY
WING PLAYER WHO CAN HANDLE
THE ROCK INTO DEFACTO PGS
INSTEAD OF PLAYING THEIR TRADITIONAL POSITIONS.

I dont know. Pacers PG was a problem

 

[Cladyclad]

He get rattled too fukking easy. He either too confident or too down on himself. To me that’s why his game fluctuates so much. PG needs a better mental balance. But I think it’s too late for him to change

HE LITERALLY CATCHES
THIS POSTER EVERY SEASON.



THAT DRIVE LEFT,
RIGHT HAND HAMMER
IS HIS PATENTED MOVE.

STOP PRETENDING HE
WAS ANYTHING MORE
THAN AN INEFFICIENT JUMP SHOOTER
IN INDIANA.

HES A MUCH BETTER PLAYER NOW.

Completely wrong. He’s not more talented then the guys you mentioned. It's like you watched one game (Game 5 btw is when he had 41) and based your evaluation off of that. He does not have PG like handles(loses the ball one too much while trying to drive), he is not a better finisher than some of the guys you mentioned or some you didn't. PG is a very talented guy but your way off by saying he's the most talented. He might not even be top 10 most talented in today's NBA.
