Paul George's turnovers come at about a 2-1 rate from bad passes vs losing the ball by either getting stripped while driving or getting picked, he's not really getting picked consistently, certainly not where I can say with a straight face that it's too easy to pick.
When it comes to turnovers, the primary issue is jumping to pass / trying to make decisions in the air, lazy passes, and trying to make passes that aren't there, at least not for his passing skill level.

These are issues (in the 2nd paragraph) younger players have esp jumping to pass that either improve over time, or the player isn't put in that position anymore as it gets closer to important games. I don't understand the risk/reward purpose of continually going back to it when we have 3 PG's who just straight up don't play in that manner.
And sloppy passes is poor BBIQ. Gifted athlete, but that's what it is.

Jumping to pass is generally not the best, but it isn't a blanket situation, it all depends on if you're good at it, that's really what it boils down to. A guy like Jason Kidd jumped to pass a lot, the thing is that he was successful at doing it, because his vision and his ability to still find guys accurately even when he got in the air and looked like maybe he didn't have anyone was excellent. Jason Kidd is one of the NBA's greatest passers of all time, so it's not necessarily a try this at home situation.
