Top 10 NBA PPG Leaders of 2018/19 Season so far

#8 Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder): 26.6 PPG

Oklahoma City Thunder have found their superstar next to Westbrook

Nobody expected Paul George to be on this list. After his mixed season last year with Westbrook and then re-signing with the Thunder again, everyone expected him to have a similar season again.

But he has left everyone astonished at the season he has been having. With Westbrook tweaking his game and also getting injured for a bunch of games, George had the perfect opportunity to play his natural game and has led the Thunder to the third place with a 26-17 record.

George has been scoring lights out this season, averaging a career-high 26.6 points per game this season. He has also rebounding the most he has in his career, averaging 8.1 rebounds a game.

His 3.9 assists are not a great figure to look at but with Westbrook handling playmaking duties, it was expected. George has been a superb defender always and it shows, as he is averaging 2.3 steals a game, which ranks him only behind his teammate Russell Westbrook in steals.

In his most recent game, a loss against the Atlanta Hawks 142-126, George again scored a big 24 points but his inefficiency let him down in this one. He also had 8 rebounds, 3 assists and an amazing 5 steals.

The Thunder will be hoping that George will lead them to a win in their next game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
