Anyone a little disappointed with how George has developed? Earlier in the year it seemed like he was on the path to truly being a great player. Now he's shooting 41% and taking 8 threes a game.

Depends how you define great, his efg% is at 49.1 for the season, better than Kobes career average with better defence, and people have him as a top ten.

Yiu cannot just look at fg% if someone's shooting high volume 3s

Kobe's retiring and still on your head shooting clutch shots 24/7 :lol

He's always been prone to chucking up long jumpers and three-pointers and shooting 49% in the first month didn't help to curb that. He took, even more, 3pters in december (8.2 on 18.2 overall shots) on two less shots, but only shot 36%. He's even worse this month at 30%, but is still launching up 8 a game. While he's athletic as hell...he's never been a particularly great ball handler or a guy who can get to the rim with any consistency. He needs to develop a post game he can go to. It also doesn't help that since the first month he's been averaging more turnovers than assist. That's never a good look for a perimeter player.

Three-point chucking is getting out of hand in the league in general. You got guys shooting 33% who are launching up 6 or more a game...you'd never see that 10 years ago except from a clown like Antoine Walker...I bet he wishes he was in the league now.

Could be because of the new system they've implemented. They're playing at a faster pace and he's been playing the 4 position.
