Paul George: Is he a top 10 draft pick? 

Post#1 » by cjx » Wed May 6, 2009 1:10 am

I'm just curious about your assessments and knowledge of guard Paul George. How does P. George compare with Tyreke Evans and Evan Turner, and what level of versatility does he have? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

this yr? i think after workouts and measurements he would be a top 10 pick, or very close to it. next yr's class is a bit deeper so i'd say closer to late lotto then.
i think he has a chance to be very similar to a thaddeus young type SF. he's 6'7, long arms and springy with a solid feel for the game. good shooter out to the 3 (shot 45% this last yr) and is a better passer than his ast #s and a/t ratio would indicate. his problem right now is that he has a tendency to float, he's underweight and his ball skills arent that great.
i like him a lot and would take him over just about every swingman in this yrs draft.
