Is Paul George the best player in the east?

[Illuminatos]

Duh

Paul actually has a decent j though breh....

Paul is a better shooter, but not exactly an efficient one. Mainly because of the load he has to shoulder and not having an elite playmaker to help him.

Look at that shooting percentage

Their 2 point percentage is virtually the same 44.7% for John, 44.6% for Paul

3 point though? 35.1% John and 37.2% Paul.

John Wall
Paul George

And George took almost 3 more three point attempts a game.

Wall has no elite playmakers either

Wall and PG have similar player production averages too (PPA)

Pretty much

39% of George's FGA were treys as opposed to 24.3% for Wall. If Paul George was better at driving to the hoop, he would be a monster but he has to settle on less efficient shots.

He should clone himself

Why is comparison wall to George some type of diss. Both are all stars and top 20 NBA players.

Didn't walk just average 20 & 10 for the season?

But he's NOT an elite playmaker himself. His efficiency is so bad because he has to settle for crap shots. He's better than most at hitting tough shots, but you can't eat taking contested J's at 42% all season long.

To me that's the biggest distinction between Lebron and George. Lebron controls the offense and gets what he can. George is confined to what the defense gives him, and a good defense gets away with not giving him much at all.

He's been doing extremely well under the radar after recovering from his gruesome injury......but no.

I don't think I've said PG was an elite playmaker. He's not as as strong or atheltic, nor is he the ballhandler LeBron is to get to the rim at the same rate LBJ is. For comparison, 17% of PG's shot were at the rim (0-3 FT) compared to 46% for LeBron.

You KNOW he's not


You KNOW 99% of us gonna say no
