After LeBron James and Kevin Durant, there is room for debate about the NBA’s next-best wing. During the 2015-16 regular season, Kawhi Leonard was the obvious pick. Some even had him ahead of KD.
But one year does not a “better” make.
Paul George certainly belongs in that conversation. There have been few better than an At His Best Paul George. For examples, see his recent playoff series vs. Toronto, all of last November, November 2013, and certain games against the Heat in Indiana’s heyday.
At this point, it’s hard to say who is better — but one of the two has to be number three on the list.
