Paul George

Paul George is a shooting guard that plays in the NBA for the Indiana Pacers. Coming out of college at Fresno State, George was an overlooked rookie that no one had really heard of. He got to the Pacers in 2010 at 6'8 and was expected to get time off the bench. His rookie year he averaged 7.8 points per game. The following summer George shot up to 6'10 and that is huge for a player that plays on the wing.

George's numbers have went up pretty significantly every single year he has been in the league. His second year he average 12 points per game, last year he average 17.5 points per game, and this year he is on the brink to be a MVP candidate average 23.9 points per game. The Pacers are in first place in the East with a record of 16-2 which is the best record in the NBA. George is a tough match-up for wing players because most wing players in the league are 6'6 to 6'8.

Off the court he has done some pretty neat things in my opinion as well. His Alma Mater Fresno State had a football game coming up this season and George decided to buy all of the tickets for that game and give them away for free. That is a pretty neat thing to hear because I am sure they're are families out there that would like to go the game, but do not have the money to go. George gave these people an opportunity to attend the game and I think that is pretty neat.
