HYBRID
NBA ROLE: TWO-WAY SUPERSTAR
Paul George aka PG-13 has reached superstar status – no doubt about it; one of the NBA's best two-way stars: lockdown defender who’s made leaps and bounds as a creator & shot maker – won’t hesitate to let it fly in a defender’s face, has a super easy shot release: freezes defenders w/ quick, paralyzing crossovers, & hangs and hits difficult looks at the basket – clutch performer on offense; incredibly cold. handle for a 6'8 wing/forward: PG can break down anyone w/ size ups and back & forth crossovers; hard to corral w/ a beat to the basket: great body (& ball) control, is elite at splitting defenders & finishing; can fall into iso mode, must put an emphasis on playmaking when shots aren't falling; PG-13's an adaptable star w/ MVP-level talent, can impose will in any scenario; performs at a superstar level (when healthy) – will PG & Kawhi get LAC over the championship hump in 2024?
