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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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$$.

    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.

    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

    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
