Of the prospects I've looked at I'm pretty high on George. Right now I'd say hes my number one pick with Pondexter at number two.
I like him, but fortunately, the Spurs FO due-diligence consists of WAY more than checking out YouTube videos.

Are you watching highlights or tapes? What inspired the post?
This paul fella, does he have what it takes to be a good volume shooter like durant, tmac etc? could he be built up as a franchise player in the making? or a scrub who fills the rosters need?
Oh yeah, he's a sure-fire franchise player, because that's generally what you can draft from the 20 spot...
In other news, pigs just flew by my window, and tonight I'm having a threesome with Morena Baccarin and Maria Sharapova!

I had no idea what you were referring to so I googled it and got this:

BTW, I wasn't dissing George, just suggesting that it's a bit stupid to question whether he's a potential franchise player at this point.
No one is saying he is. I think George has a role player mentality and will hustle and make energy plays in the league. He obviously is just a spot-up shooter and occasional slasher at this point. His ceiling is most probably Danny Granger, but I don't expect him to reach that. He can't be a franchise player. This draft is deep, but it is hilarious to suggest that George can be a franchise player at this point, along with the rest of the late lottery and mid-1st rounders.I had no idea what you were referring to so I googled it and got this:

That article was funny though. People arguing over pork.
When I look at what kind of SF will complement well a Spurs roster of Parker, Hill, Ginobili, Duncan, Splitter and Blair, George looked like a damn good fit.
On the paper the ideal SF would be a good defender and a good 3 point shooter. I don't know George but he seems to be able to fit both criteria.
reassuring news regarding George. he has hired an agent, so he will be in the draft. after the withdraw of Vesely this are good news. now let's hope that Hayward also stays in the draft.
i really want him, i think he is what we need the most and the perfect fit and could be an alternative to Batum who we very wanted back then.
I think I'd be fine with either George or Pondexter. George is probably the better long-term solution but I can't get over the idea that Pondexter is probably a much larger help early on. Still, I think them both.
exactly my thoughts as well. personally I prefer Pondexter (also because of pure sympathy, I just like him), but if the Spurs go with George, I won't complain. (agree that he might have the higher ceiling)
Honestly, I think I'd draft Pondexter as well but wouldn't cry over George. Just my personal preference though. I think Pondexter will be ready to contribute more early on than George. And while Pondexter won't have the 3 point shooting prowess of George I don't know that George will realize his potential in the quickly closing Duncan era. The team will look very different then and we won't necesarily place as much emphasis on shooting as we once did anyways.
Cool. Interesting that you brought up DeRozen...outside of the comparable athleticism, do you think they have similar games?
George seems to be more NBA-ready with one aspect over most of the SF prospects...his three-point shot. His percentage was down this year from last, but his number of attempts seem to suggest it's a regular part of his game, versus the "projection" of that aspect for most other prospects.
If the Spurs are going to ask him initially to stand in a corner and fire up threes, he seems to be able to handle that right away. The rest of it (dribble drive, defense, etc.) will come.
ok....so we draft Paul George in the first and Dexter Pittman in the 2nd.
We then re-sign Ian, sign Splitter, Trade Bonner for a future 2nd.
In 2011 we draft Jordan Hamilton
Our future beyond the big 3.......Splitter, Ian, Blair, Pittman, George, Hill, Hamilton, Temple, Gee, Hairston, and de Colo.
I would rather go with James Anderson or Xavier Henry over George. Just my opinion but I think those 2 guys are better players.
i like xavier henry but spurs are really thin at the sf unless spurs could possibly land a decent sf in the second round or free agency like matt barnes
George is better than Anderson IMO
George has alot of pontential and could be a special player hes my pick then pondextor
I just feel like perimeter shooting needs to be looked at and addressed badly. Neither George or Pondexter shoot the ball well compared to Henry and Anderson.
george is a of a 3 point shooter pondextor is poor but can do everything else good the only think i dont like about george is maybe his defense but hes long and athletic but henry is there i would defintley pick him but feel like our weakness is SF right now
90 percent from free throw line if I'm not mistaken...just what we need!
From what I've read, George seems to have some similarities with Batum.
Cool. He is working out with Xavier Henry for the Spurs. Both guys are excellent 3 point shooters and have the ability to play both swing positions. I am getting so excited for the draft come June.
