My momma always told me never to trust a man with two first names.
It’s one of those unwritten rules she passed down, like: Never wake up a homeless man, or never let Antoine Walker co-sign your lease.
Indiana’s Paul George is making momma look wise (what else is new). He’s also making it tougher on those members of society who have two first names and aren’t dangerous. George has been downright disagreeable this season, putting up 17.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
That is up from 12.1 points, 2.4 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game last season.
There are still two worrisome things about George. First, he has shot the ball poorly so far this season, shooting just 41.4 percent to go along with 33 percent from beyond the arc. On top of that, Paul is averaging 4.66 turnovers per game.
Both of these numbers, however, seem to come with the new territory of being the team's go-to player. Fortunately, he will likely get over that soon and return to his normal shooting numbers. As long as Danny Granger is out with his knee injury, look for Paul George to tear up the NBA.
