Top 10 Two-Way Players In The NBA TODAY

#5 Paul George

Paul George has given OKC an option other than Westbrook

The Paul George trade has become a win-win for both the Indiana Pacers as well as the Oklahoma City Thunder, despite what the detractors might have to say about the Thunder franchise's current predicament.

George has continued his excellent play during this regular season campaign. With him in the lineup, the Thunder have an option other than Russell Westbrook who can create offense for himself, as well as for others. Averaging 21.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.5 blocks, George has the ability to stuff the stat sheet like few other perimeter players.

He is also a stingy defender, with his impact backed up by advanced defensive metrics. He ranks second to Andre Roberson in defensive win shares per game in the Thunder franchise, and they are two points worse off in defensive rating with him off the floor.
