Well of course youre gonna use these years
Sorry I live in the present
? I never said Melo was anywhere close to an overall player than those guys nor did I say he had better careers than those guys. Would be foolish to say so.

Anyway, I guess next season will be the year everyone starts to say George "sucks". Expectations for this guy is way too high. People are going to be very upset when he puts up similar numbers as last season.

I'm sure you have some eloquent response to this and i'm sure you know what i'm about to post but numbers don't lie.
1 Luol Deng 2012-13 27 75 75 38.7 6.2 14.6 .426 1.0 3.1 .322 3.1 3.8 .816 2.2 4.2 6.3 3.0 1.1 0.4 1.9 1.4 16.5
2 Paul George 2012-13 22 79 79 37.6 6.2 14.9 .419 2.2 5.9 .362 2.8 3.5 .807 1.1 6.5 7.6 4.1 1.8 0.6 2.9 2.9 17.4
3 Eric Gordon 2012-13 24 42 40 30.1 5.6 13.9 .402 1.3 4.1 .324 4.5 5.3 .842 0.2 1.6 1.8 3.3 1.1 0.2 2.8 1.8 17.0
4 Andre Iguodala 2012-13 29 80 80 34.7 5.0 11.0 .451 1.1 3.6 .317 1.9 3.4 .574 1.0 4.3 5.3 5.4 1.7 0.7 2.6 1.6 13.0
5 O.J. Mayo 2012-13 25 82 82 35.5 5.6 12.5 .449 1.7 4.3 .407 2.3 2.8 .820 0.4 3.1 3.5 4.4 1.1 0.3 2.6 2.4 15.3
6 J.R. Smith 2012-13 27 80 0 33.5 6.6 15.6 .422 1.9 5.5 .356 3.0 3.9 .762 0.8 4.5 5.3 2.7 1.3 0.3 1.7 2.8 18.1
This doesn't say that Paul George isn't better than these guys, but rather how much closer he is to this group of players than a Carmelo Anthony and why him being mentioned as a superstar or a bonafide first option is outlandish to me.

Who said that?!?!?!?
What makes him so much better than those guys though?...
The point was that he was closer to those guys than Melo which is statistically true.

is there anyway to see how effective josh smith was at the 3 compared to the 4?

just because they have similar numbers does not mean they are all one and the same

They expect him to avg 25 11 and 7 and lead Indiana as the first option to the ECF again. Theyre going to be sorely dissapointed. PG is my man, but like you said..let shorty develop. I honestly see him as a 18-21ppg 7rpg & 4apg guy with great defense, and slightly better efficiency at the peak of his career. The kind of guy to make like 2 or 3 more 3rd team ALL NBA teams and 3 more all star appearances.exactly my point.

What's really so different about Paul George and Josh smith besides shot selection/better jumper? We all know how maligned Jsmoove is on here. I think he's underapreciated for the things he does brings to the table.

Offense 48 minutes
SF: 20.6/9.1/6.4......16.1PER
PF: 24.4/11.7/5.5.....18.5PER
On the defensive end he's much more efficient at the 3.
Much larger sample size at the 4 tho.

Josh Smith BODIED Paul George in the post during the playoffs. If he played the 3, but played like that all the time, he could be a top 10 player.
It was embarassing to watch the Pacers defense try to defend Josh Smith in the post, he was too big and strong for George, and way too quick for West.

It's not perfect, but 82games tracks the PER of players at X position.

Iguodala seems like a good comparison for PG, not sure what the fuss is there....comparisons are rarely EXACTLY alike anyway.
Those other guys are hot or cold spark plug types so I definitely wouldn't put him in that category ...besides Deng.
The PG hype train has definitely ran away hopefully it doesn't hit a wall because if it does it'll be brutal.

In real "news" apparently CP3 threatened to sign with the Rockets if they didn't hire Doc. Interesting I guess?

the front court defense and rebounding of the pistons will be good enough to be competitive every game. they'll lose most if not all of their games on the offensive end

I'm not saying that they are
my point was that to compare him to Melo is ridiculous and that he's closer to those guys than Melo. That's it. If you believe he's closer to Melo than those guys then...I mean...That's you
