“We can go back to being who we were the last couple of years over night but this is worth exploring”.

“It’s the concern just over the course of a season just how my body would take it, especially coming off the injury that I had and a whole year of rehabbing”, George said recently about playing the power forward position, according to USA Today. “I’m trying to come into this year as if I played last year and had another awesome season”.
It makes sense why Paul George is frustrated right now.
“I think it will be good for us”.
“We’ve got a shot, a real shot at being top 3 in the East”, George told reporters at Pacers media day. “This is something to be very excited about and something we really feel he’s going to like”.
There’s quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding Paul George heading into 2015-16 season-what with (reluctantly) playing a brand-new position, and coming off a devastating leg injury, there’s no telling if George will ever regain his all-world form.
I have personally never been a fan of Jordan Hill’s game (and I’m not alone) but this is a good get for the Pacers. “I think it give us a chance to again, change the East, gives us a chance to play faster, to play a funner, better brand of basketball”, he said. He already had David West leave a large contract on the table to play at the veteran’s minimum for the San Antonio Spurs, and it isn’t like Indiana is a destination franchise when free agents are concerned. I wondered in print if George would be able to show his skills as versatile perimeter defender if he has to be stuck battling fours all the time. He’s a wing. He’s a playmaker, a creator. But something that he’s going to consistently play? He also, at least for the first time that I’ve heard, said the team’s previous identity can still be an option.
However, George is anxious about the health risks of having to guard bigger, stronger players.

Now, George says he wants to prove his belief that he is the best player in the league.
