Former Sixers star ranked No. 17 small forward in NBA history
Former Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George comes in ranked as the 17th-best small forward in the history of the game.
Paul George, a former star forward for the Philadelphia 76ers, has been ranked No. 17 among small forwards in NBA history by HoopsHype. Despite the Sixers' initial hopes being dashed during his two seasons with the team, George still managed to put up impressive numbers. He averaged 16.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, shooting 43.4% from the field and 37.5% from beyond the arc.
After being traded to the Boston Celtics in July, his performance wasn't as impactful, but he still provided valuable guidance to rookie VJ Edgecombe. Overall, Paul George has had a remarkable career, and his ranking of No. 17 suggests that he could climb even higher on the list if he overcomes his injury issues. George is a tenacious two-way player, capable of scoring from three, the midrange, and around the rim.
His impressive career statistics include 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game across 16 seasons in the league. He has been an 9-time All-Star, a four-time All-Defensive Team member, and a six-time All-NBA Team selection.
