George, it's on the same level as Ariza! Pacers, Thunder, Clippers, all of them?
George is the boss of the Pacers, he is useless, he can't break through the first round when he is the second man in the Thunder, and he has no ability to come to the Clippers as the second boss, at this time, Harden is more suitable to be the second boss of the Clippers than he is the boss in the Rockets, and the Clippers at this time are really a perfect match.
But it's still a level better than Ariza. You can't compare him to Harden and Leonard's abilities, it's not a level either, he's positioned as an All-Star, not a superstar. George himself was positioned as a 3-and-D player, and later played for the Pacers to become a competent main attacker (for a team in the first round of the playoffs).
In the late stage of the Pacers, although the Cavaliers were swept, the average loss per game was also within 5 points. Later, he went to the Thunder in 19 years to play the best performance of his career, but still failed to break through the first round, which also proved that George's ability is not enough to take on the main attacker of a team aiming for a championship. That is, it is true that his ability is not enough to provide a consistent output in the high-end bureau. But it is also true that George is offensive and defensive, and he has been selected for defensive plastic surgery many times during the Thunder and Pacers, which can provide first-line defensive value (now that he is old, his ability to lead and defend has indeed declined), and his ability to assist and supplement defense**.
Overall, Paul George is an All-Star caliber player who can be a big man in the play-in tournament, a second player in the playoffs, and a top three in a championship team. The level reference Brunson, Mitchell, is higher than Sika, Ingram, and the active ranking is between 20 and 25.
The value of this kind of star is not something that Ariza can touch, you just look at how many teams rush to ask for him if the Clippers let go. The Clippers are a championship team not because of George, but because of the small card, and I'm sure even George fans won't deny that.
By the way, the one that just lost, this game opened to see the Lu's external experimental lineup, the usual starting hand of the whole game is almost useless, especially in the presence of Plumlee, and finally the last five small also tried to have drawbacks, and the inside line was punished by Allen, in short, although he lost, it was definitely a game with great research value, and it was worth going back to summarize.
And it's one thing for the interior to be blown up, and it's clear in this game that the referees don't want the Clippers to win. Xiaoka hit two free throws on the inside many times, and George was able to get 6 fouls to leave the court? The last time he left the game with 6 fouls was the game against the Lakers at the beginning of the 6-game losing streak....Harden whistled for a three-point foul and a final minute to pick up a defense for 3 seconds....Whenever the Clippers show signs of chasing points, they give you the whole foul, except for Kazigo, Coffey, Powell, and everything else is more or less powered off....List of high-quality authors
