Speaking of the draft, Paul George also had a story with the Nets. Before the draft, the Pacers wanted to trade with the Nets with the star Granger, so as to get Harris, Yi Jianlian and the No.3 draft of the Nets. Unfortunately, the Pacers got 10 to sign paul george, and the Nets got Fevos. Later, George moved around the Thunder and Clippers, and that Fivos also came to the Thunder where George used to play in 20021year. However, their status in the NBA has changed, which obviously can no longer be measured by the original draft pick.
20 10- 1 1 season, paul george obviously didn't get attention, only started 19 games. However, George's performance on the offensive end was not played, which was only considered to be quite satisfactory. He scored 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game and was only selected for the second lineup of the best rookie, and the aforementioned Fevos was also selected for this lineup. It can be said that this year's players basically have no outstanding rookie, either lack of ability or bad luck, or are riddled with injuries. Cousins, Hayward, etc.
Paul george's rookie season is still brilliant. His steals per minute are the highest in the team, so that he won the championship in 20 19, and his stealing ability can be seen. In the season of 20 1 1- 12, Paul George, a sophomore, made remarkable progress. His average score climbed to 12. 1 minute, with 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists, and he even started 66 games. With this performance, which is not too late, Paul George finally did not drown in the NBA's steady stream of rookie troops, and participated in the rookie game and the all-star weekend dunk contest.
George was lucky enough to enter the playoffs in the second season. George's luck is also poor. The Pacers met the Big Three in the second round, and George's performance in this round of series was also mediocre. Next season, because the star Granger was absent due to injury, Paul George took on the responsibility of the team leader, playing 79 games in the regular season, leading the Pacers to the playoffs with the third place in the East, and defeating the Knicks led by Anthony in the series to reach the East Finals. At that time, in the east, if you want to break through, you have to face your former rivals, the Big Three, and the result can be imagined.
If the victory or defeat on the court is not bad luck, then George's real bad luck will belong to the leg-breaking incident, which can be said to have become a shadow that he will not be able to erase for a long time. During an in-team training of the American national team in 20 14, paul george accidentally touched the basketball stand on the sidelines when he landed, and his right leg tibia was fractured, which was severely twisted to almost 90 degrees. The fans were horrified to see the video at that time, and the warrior Pascal was even more frightened, so he switched to jumping with his feet. The broken leg injury directly caused Jeangeorges to miss the game for more than one season, and it took Yongle a long time to get out of this injury.
