Paul George - Fresno State Forward


Strengths: Has great length and athleticism...Smooth player, makes plays look effortless...He has good court vision and is an excellent passer...His length combined with his release point make his jump shot difficult to contest...Can finish around the basket with finesse or power and can do so with either hand…Outstanding three point shooter, shot 44.7 percent from behind the arc as a freshman...His greatest strength may be his ability to play the game with maturity and understanding of someone well beyond his years...Allows the game to come to him, does not force plays and rarely takes bad shots...He's a good rebounder because of his length and timing, and should be even better as he adds weight to his frame...Led Fresno State as a freshman with six double-doubles...His wingspan and basketball IQ allow him to disrupt the game on the defensive end of the court…He averaged 1.7 steals and 1.0 block per game last season in the Western Athletic Conference.

Weaknesses: Listed at 6'7" 185, will need to add weight to absorb contact at the NBA level...His first step and overall game is smooth rather than explosive...Has a tendency to play vertical, looks stiff at times on the court...Good shooting percentages, but may need to speed up the release on his jump shot at the next level...Could be unselfish to a fault...Forty percent of his offensive attempts as a freshman were from the three point line, needs to show he can put the ball on the floor.
