[Louisvillekid1]

Unlimited potential, should have a great career...

[Ghenghis Kahn]

[lakerboy]

[seaborneq]

[SteelRain]

[8ArIvd5]

[k4cowboys4k]

He isn't, and will never, be a top 15 player in this league!

[Killer_Demo]

Paul George another great athlete from Fresno State

[bballs84]

Fresno State's Finest.. And we still couldn't win without Tark

[Grits n' Gravy]

The answer was already a big No. The fact that lakerbombay said he can be just sealed his fate.

[bettilimbroke999]

Great defender....had to stop Lebron from walking to the rim for 1 second in order to force a pullup jumper which Lebron always chokes on and ran to the fuckin side of him...never do drugs before a playoff game kids

[daimoshokage]

Not in a million years..

[GoBlue77]

You people are clueless at reading talent... Paul George really?....Kawhi Leonard is way better than him and I wouldn't say he's a top 10 talent

[Mr Handicapable]

Not in a million years..

You guy are idiots....although not much worse than the NBA scouts that let George fall to the 10th pick in 2010. The 1st 9 guys completely suck except for maybe John Wall.

George has grown to 6'10"....40+ vertical, quick, and great court vision. Can compete in either the dunk or 3 pt contest. How many guys can do that? He'll be top 10-15ish next year and prob top 5 after that. He's that talented.....Vogel just needs to get him to be more aggressive. He gets half of his pts in the 4th usually cause he's not aggressive enough early.

Really? Let me know when SA puts Leonard on Melo or LeBron 1-on-1 on defense

[vyomguy]

top 15 maybe...definitely not top 5

[marcoloco]

top 15 maybe...definitely not top 5

agreed

[TheMoneyShot]

I think he's just having a lucky season. IMO

Just an average dude.

[vyomguy]

his stats will come down when dany granger is back.

kawhi leanard?

granger is done.

[Mr Handicapable]

ITS "CAN" NOT IS top 5 already. Average dude....ok guard Melo and LeBron 1 on 1 for 40+ minutes and hold them under 50% shooting. Get 15-20 points yourself, with 8 rbs, and maybe 5-6 assists....at the age of 23.

Average...alrighty then

looks like melo was hurt
lebron shot 50% + triple double + easy game winning LAYUP
low percentage fg%
low percentage 3'pt shooter
can he improve? i think so
is he a superstar? no

Not disputing that...once again....the heading on this is CAN NOT IS. All these guys looking at this years stats (which he's already most improved) are wrong...the guy has all kinds of talent. Look at the tape of the 4th Q last night....he was blowing around LeBron right and left. Nobody does that. As for the last play...should've been a instant double team...Vogel fk'd up....West fk'd up...should've helped on lebron not cover Battier's sorry a$$.

[BennyBigNuts]

Did you type that wrong L-Kid? I think you meant top 15??? Dude is definitely good but no where near a top-level superstar. He barely cracks the top 25 as of today. He can move up a few notches, but no where near the top 10 vicinity.

[Big Bear]

never heard of him who does he play for?

Remember it's only his third year and this is his breakout season. I think in 3-4 years from now he will atleast top 10 and in only going to get better. All around talent.

Some good input in this thread...

I don't dislike the guy at all. Don't see superstar talent though. I see an average to above average offensive player and an above average to excellent defender.

Whats it take then? The guy is 6'10" can jump out of the gym...fast and unselfish at 23 years old.

LeBron at 23 (48% field goals, 31% from 3, 7.9 rbs, 7.2 assists...30 ppg I think...nobody else on the Cavs)

MJ at 23 (45.7 fg%, only 16% from 3, 3.6 boards, 2.9 assists, 22 ppg

George beats MJs stats at 23 already....not that he's ever going to be MJ but top 5 potential in todays watered down NBA. Definitely

[Mr Handicapable]

Seen George compared to Pippen

Pippen at 23

.476 fg, 27% on threes, 6.1 boards, 3.5 assists, 14.4

George beats every catagory but overall fg % and Pippen was in the Top 50 of All-Time list
