Indiana Pacers swingman Paul George doesn't want to settle for just a "late growth spurt" with his body. He wants to grow his game, too.

George, who grew 2 inches to 6-10 during the offseason, is putting in the time to make sure his skills progress. One tactic the 21-year-old has adopted is to routinely be one of the first players on the practice court and one of the last ones off it.

Catch and shoot. Pump fake, one dribble, pull up. Launch 3-pointers from the five key spots on the perimeter. Over and over again.

Talking about a mismatch now.

He was playing SG for Indy last season.

I doubt that. Stern would've said, "F*ck that, give me George just for basketball reasons."

He keeps growing, first it was an inch, now it's supposed to be two inches. I'm sure he got bigger, but he's not 6'10. They had their media day yesterday and he and Brandon Rush got interviewed and were kind of giggling about it, made it seem like they knew it was getting pretty exaggerated.

well he looked 1 or 2 inches taller than both West and Granger. West and Granger are both 6'9.

Isn't Hibbert supposed to be 7'2?How's it not look it? You figure all those guys are about 6'9 and the tops of their heads are about at his eye level. Your eyes to the top of your head's at least 3 inches or so, and he's not standing COMPLETELY straight up, slouched a tiny bit.

I dont know I guess I'd imagine him towering over them considering hes the 2nd tallest player in the NBA. But I see your point on him kinda slouching.
