Pumping the brakes on the Paul George doomerism

It turns out not having the full use of all your fingers is detrimental to your ability to play basketball.

The Paul George experience in Philadelphia is not off to the best start. Only appearing in 35 of the first 54 games this season, PG’s stop-and-start season has been riddled with inconsistencies.

His 16.1 points per game, 42% field goal percentage and 36% three-point percentage are all just about the lowest marks since his rookie season. His 13.9 field goal attempts per game are the lowest in a full season they’ve been since his second year in the league.
