Paul George is averaging 25/5/9

Second best player in the East? PG13's back!!

[PsychoBe]

clearly the best player in the east and third best in the league behind curry and kd.

Nah, Bran is still > PG

[SexSymbol]

He's actually better than he was pre injury

Pretty much

Leg breaks aren't as serious as tendon/ligament tears/muscle tears... I mean well it is, but the recovery rate back to full function is higher...

I give the edge to PG because he can shoot from beyond 5ft and also can shoot free throws.

[HylianNightmare]

Hopefully Indiana can make some noise come playoffs, maybe finally knock out Miami

[stalkerforlife]

He's better than Bran this season and that is a FACT.

Yep. He's been amazing. I'd put Drummond above Lebron too.

[Dro]

I'm pleased but I still think he takes too many jump shots...But I am happy that he's taking more shots, being more aggressive as far as scoring and being more of a playmaker. His defense has been outstanding which is what I was really worried about.

[WayOfWade]

If you're going to go just based on how the season has gone so far, you could easily say that George is better. LeBron is underperforming, and George is putting up these numbers against some pretty good teams, I expect him to keep up the pace throughout the season. I do however expect LeBron to overtake George by seasons end. Curry? Well now I'm doubting he'll ever catch Curry now

[Dragonyeuw]

He's playing at the level( maybe a bit higher) that he was for the first half of 2013-14 when he 'emerged', then pretty much went south( along with the Pacers) during the second half of the season. It's good to see that the injury didn't turn him into the latest 'what-if' casualty.

[Relinquish]

He'll fall back down to earth eventually. Remember when people were proclaiming him the MVP early in the season 2 years ago?

As long he doesn't impregnate a stripper or be catfished again, he should be fine.

[ArbitraryWater]

George is by FAR better than pre-injury... I remember Indian_Guy comparing his play aesthetically to T-Mac after the preseason, he was spot on...

now he's actually deserving of praise, based on merit..

In 2014 he was hot to start off the year, and absolutely dog shit after the all-star break... but he was easily the most marketable as best player on a Pacers team that won alot, in reality, David West was the best player on that team. In 2013, in 2014.

2012 was Granger, still.

PG has emerged as a Superstar, now.
