Paul George welcomes playing under Joe Mazzulla, Boston Celtics challenges
"It's been a fun challenge," said the Fresno State alum. "How can I be myself, how can I find rhythm."
Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla may not be everyone's cup of tea due to his brusque demeanor, which some find off-putting. However, the players who have played under him seem to enjoy working for the West Virginia native, and recent addition Paul George appears to be part of that growing group. George expressed his enthusiasm about his dynamic with Mazzulla to CLNS Media, stating that the challenge they face is a beautiful one.
The veteran wing discussed how he is accustomed to having the ball in his hands throughout his career, and the offense typically running through him. He added that Mazzulla's offense is unique, as it doesn't rely on set plays but rather on reading the game and thinking strategically. This approach allows George to play at his own pace and in various spots on the court.
George emphasized that this is exactly how he envisioned playing during his career. He expressed his excitement about figuring out his role within the team and contributing to their success. Overall, it appears that Paul George is settling into his new role under Mazzulla's coaching just fine.
