Are you really going to defend Jefferson? He shot so much more in Milwaukee because he was basically their number 1 option. If he is so skilled, why can't he get any playing time in Golden State? The guy has regressed plain and simple, and to blame it all on Pop (who I believe designed an alley oop play specifically for him) isn't right.
What is going on with this guy? the other day i was wondering when leonard will score 20 in a game, heck, right now i would be happy if he scored 10 a game..i don't think the future face of the franchise, as popovich put it, can be averaging less than 9 pts per game or we are in trouble. He can't score if he doesn't shoot.
Ha...Vince Carter at 1 time actually led a team to an Eastern Conference Final. What has Paul George done exactly as a leader of a franchise?If dunk facials = superstar potential then Vince Carter is gonna be great someday. He served up a wicked dunk facial on Ibaka in the game I saw last night.
But having said that, the Big 3 won't be here forever and when they're gone, those shots have to be re-distributed. Besides...if Danny Granger were healthy right now, then no one would say about Paul George other than he's a fine young player. While has made the most of a great opportunity let's not get crazy and start calling him an All-Star level player and place his name on the ALL-NBA D Team.
When has Paul George even been the leader of a franchise?
Regardless, George is head & shoulders above Leonard; Leonard imo has regressed. He does nothing but shoot 3's & miss, his defense has even taking a step back since his return from the quad injury.
Very disappointing.
Exactly...so why use Vince Carter as a comparison. Why people about a 5th option on offense player in the current system when truthfully, his team wants him to focus on stopping the best perimeter players in the L is crazy. Again, Paul George scores on a team that needs him to because they don't have their franchise player in Danny Granger. If Paul George played for the Spurs, he'd get 8 shots a game too but he wouldn't be able to play the D that Pop requires of Leonard. Recognize!
George has stepped up without Granger ( he might even force the Pacers to trade Granger who will turn 30 & is regressing), Leonard hasn't with Ginobili out.
Their is no excuse for Leonard's poor play.
honestly klay thompson looks alot better and progressed more than leonard this past year offensively.. still believe we made the better decision in kL
dude, you're like spurstalk famous...
Bump. Thoughts? George is getting waaay too much hype from the media, his FG% is piss poor, especially compared to Kawhi's. He's a much better playmaker but that's about it. Kawhi has really progressed since people last posted here.
PG these playoffs:
40% FG (same regular season %)
18 PPG
5 APG
36% from 3
8 RPG
Kawhi these playoffs:
57% FG
13 PPG
8 RPG
37% from 3
Shutting down Thompson as well
George has also been in the NBA 1 more year.
Hmmm
George is a slightly better player this year tbh. Leonard is so efficient because he plays in a system as role player in a "shoot when open only" system.
Kawhi is much more versatile defensively though.
You cant be serious...George easily.
Paul George is the better player. He has the opposite problem to Kawhi(He's over aggressive looking for his shot), but both are probably ideally 2nd/3rd scorers who play excellent D.
Hmmm. One year anniversary.
PG is a chucker tbh
PG is busy touching Hibberts , while Leonard is leading his team to the WCF.
leonard>PG
