Ish never has a clue of what they're talking about.....

Yep.

Paul George is what Danny Granger was supposed to become

[MellowYellow]

His on-ball defense is a bit above average.
His passing ability is one of the worst.
An average outside shooting.
Doesn't have explosive 1st step. (Kid badly need to improve this for him to be elite)
Still lacks on good decision making.
Average ball handling skills.

I can see Rudy Gay on him but more of a distributor. He's focusing more on his defense rather than his offense.

Pretty fair assessment, he is pretty much exactly that now.

all of this is made up for the fact that he's smart and arrogant. the best combination you can have in sports outside of athleticism.

he'll surprise the goldfish media/fanbase this season. none of what you wrote is wrong, even though you wrote it three years ago. but its also all on the pessimistic end. he's a better than average shooter and can do it off the dribble. decision making comes with experience. his defense is way better than average. he's not in the superstar category of give him the ball and make something happen. that isn't necessarily a major strike against him.

22/5/5 at least, 3rd team all nba, 2nd team defense

I hope he recovers fully.

All bolded is wrong. He's improved on all these things. If anything Rudy is a poor man's PG..

I also kinda lol'd at a "bit above average" for his on-ball defense....He is an elite on ball defender. Some may think he's overrated in that area, he's still definitely better than above average.....
