Anyone see some Paul George in his game?

Here's hoping he turns out to be the sleeper pick of the draft and makes Thad Young replaceable in the future. A lot of it will depend on whether he can become a consistent shooter in the NBA. And his supposed soft mentality issues but players can get past that (Andre Drummond being a recent example)

i dont see mccullough replacing anyone except thomas robinson in future. he is still a work in progress and may take a few years.

The blog did report a league source saying that his debut is very close.

Outside of D'angelo Russell, there isn't a lot of 'work in progress' rookies this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Chris comes out the gate strong and then hits the wall later.

He was pretty raw in college. Even with him practicing for a while, it would seem pretty reasonable to expect him to be very raw in his NBA first games.

I don't expect much in his first handful games. He should actually be on a 15-20 minute restriction for February.

His intangibles was always ahead of his offense but I think we may see some spurts of offensive skills after a month or so of consistent minutes to get him acclimated.

I would be astonished if he looks anything but lost out there for the first few weeks.

If we any semblance of composure and skill in the first 10 games, he's a steal.

I look forward to yelling at a new player soon lol.

I just want to see how he does at small forward.

I just don't see the quickness yet.

Yeah, he's agile but we haven't seen the explosive first step that George has.

**** yeah! some hope is there... After the all-star break, we can just enjoy watching the rooks develop

Can't wait to see him compete against Porzingis.

I dont think he has that good of a handle. He looks more like a Pick and Pop / Pick and Roll guy who use to be able to out jump people. I just hope he gets back that pre injury athleticism.

Not really worried about that.

Can he hit mid range and 3 pt shots at a good clip?

if he does that, i don't care about dunks. I'm looking at lateral quickness on defense and rebounding outside of his shot. He can work on ball handling.

Can't see him playing SF at all honeslty, I'd be more exciting about him playing C in smallball

My syracuse buddy says he's put on a ton of muscle since he's left... that's at least a step in the right direction. Here's to hoping he pans out as an NBA player!

Tried to tell the blog that as well. I received a reply with a highlight video of him doing 1 or 2 basic crossovers in a no defense, And-1 mixtape style game lol.
