Name this player

[hateraid]

I'll describe this player. Tell me who it is.

Physically- Tall for perimeter player and pretty lanky. Not exceptionally athletic or fast but can keep up.

Offensively- Sneaky good handles and changes direction on a dime. Not fast but goes north to the basket with precision and finishes with consistency. Has a good turnaround mid range. Has a deadly 3 point pull up and can catch and shoot equally well. Can pass but has score first mentality

Defensively- Not the best perimeter defender and can be posted up by a smaller player. Rebounds well but with positioning as opposed to physicality. Awesome at chasing down blocks or filling lanes for steals.

Tangibles- is a gym rat and loves practice. Competitive but not in a leader sense. Will defer to alpha despite being a better player. Loyal to a fault. Can be coached. High ceiling

As if this isn't going to devolve into a troll thread about two or three different players within the first 5 to 10 responses, haha.

The good qualities sound a lot like Bron, but the bad qualities sound like someone else.

"Has a good turnaround midrange...."

Definitely not Bronie.

Ingram? Though I'm not sure if "loyal to a fault" fits?

It's funny, you've got a bunch of attributes that all could apply to almost anyone, and then you have that one, which I can't think of anyone it applies to.

[MoBe1Kanobi]

Gotta be Paul George

[Xiao Yao You]

Gotta be Paul George

George has a high ceiling?

Being often injured has no bearing on what a players ceiling is.

PG is clearly a high-ceiling player.

high ceiling tells me it's a young player not a player past his prime. George hit his ceiling 4 years ago. He's headed back towards the floor now

[hateraid]

The player I was describing.....

My son. He's being scouted for college in the Phillippines and we were putting together a profile and player comparison. I like PG. Another player we were comparing was Brandon Roy. But we'll go with Paul George

Thanks for playing along!
