     Paul George is struggling now in the game against the wizards but I have something that I think he should work on more in the offseason. Ballhandling

    He has become a much better ballhandler this season in comparison to previous seasonsbut hiss ballhandling is not utilized to create shots in my opinion. It seems as though he just dribbles in one spot with the ball. Great scorers in the Nba like Kevin Durant use hesitation crosses and in and outs to lead up to the jumpshot or drive to the rim but Paul george does none of that

     I remember at the beginning of the year people like Bill Simmons were labeling him the 3rd best player in the league.  Even going as far to say that it was Lebron and then on the next tier was Durant and Paul George lol.

    One issue that Paul George has is that he can’t really create his own offense and score at will. He has no issue with scoring within the flow of an offense but when the shot clock is about to expire and the play fails Paul George isn’t a guy that you can depend on to get you buckets no matter what the situation is. Other guys at his position like Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James can do this without any problem. (Granted these guys are considered top 10 players in the NBA.) I think that Paul George has a bright future and he’s already a great perimeter defender I just think that people were hyping him up as a top 10 NBA player and a superstar since they were in love with his potential but he hasn’t reached that level. At least not yet.

    At the start of the season he was playing like the 3rd best player in the NBA, I have no problem with people saying that at that time. He is clearly got that player now, but he is showing growth and for a guy who has just turned 24 and only had 2 real off-seasons I can’t complain.

    He was great in round one and I just think he needs some scoring help.

    He is good at creating offense just not great, however give him time.
