Speaking of the draft, paul george also has a story with the Nets. Before the draft, the Pacers wanted to use the star Granger to trade with the Nets, so as to get the No.3 pick of Harris, Yi Jianlian and the Nets. Unfortunately, the Pacers got 10 to sign Paul George, and the Nets got Fevos. Later, George moved between the Thunder and the Clippers, and that Fivos also came to the Thunder where George played on 202 1, but their position in the NBA changed, which obviously can't be measured by the original draft pick.
In the 20 10- 1 1 season, Paul George was obviously ignored and only made 19 starts. However, George's performance on the offensive end did not come into play, and he only felt quite satisfactory. The average of 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game was only selected for the second team of the best rookie, and the aforementioned Fevos was also selected for this team. It can be said that this year's players basically have no outstanding rookie, either lack of ability, or bad luck, or injury-ridden. Cousins, Hayward, etc.
Paul george's rookie season is still wonderful. His steals per minute are the highest in the team, so that he won the championship on 20 19, and his stealing ability can be seen. In the season of 201112, paul george, a sophomore, made remarkable progress, averaging 12. 1, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists, starting 66 games in a row. With this performance, it's not too late. Finally, paul george didn't drown in the steady stream of rookie troops in the NBA, and participated in the rookie game and the all-star weekend dunk contest.
George was lucky to make the playoffs in the second season. George's luck is also very bad. The Pacers met the Big Three in the second round, and George's performance in this series was also very general. Next season, because the star Granger missed due to injury, paul george took on the heavy responsibility of the team leader, played 79 games in the regular season, led the Pacers to the playoffs with the third place in the East, and defeated the Knicks led by Anthony in the series to reach the Eastern Conference 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 belongs to the broken leg event, which can be said to be a shadow that he can't erase for a long time. 20 14 during an in-team training of the American national team, Paul George accidentally touched the basketball stand on the sidelines when landing, and his right leg tibia was fractured and severely twisted to almost 90 degrees. The fans were frightened when they saw the video, and Pascal, the warrior, was even more frightened, so he switched to foot jumping. The broken leg directly caused Jeangeorges to miss more than one season, and it took Yongle a long time to get over the injury.
