With the 14th pick in the 1st round of the 2013 CB Draft the Milwaukee Bucks select:
PAUL GEORGE
Seems about the right spot, though I was hoping he would fall to me at #20.
Am I the only one who had George as a top 5 pick?
Yes.
I had him 9th overall, partially due to positional scarcity. Harden and George were the only two Stars at the SG position that I saw under 30
Oh but James Harden is playing PG in my team...
Comon Yoki don't screw it up, you got Harden, just don't make mistakes and cruise into the playoffs!
I don't see how it's "screwing up". Harden has enough playmaking ability to have a role the same as Rose, Irving and Westbrook. PG's who are the first option on offense but are capable of creating shots for others.
He's got exceptional court vision and provided I surround him with a talent that fits well for my vision, I don't see that he cant flourish as a PG. Sure he'll not be able to defend quicker PG's but his size is also going to pose a mismatch against them.
I just don't know why you would want to play the Best SG in the game at PG.
It makes no sense to play a Top 5 guy out of position (and a position that he is arguably the best in the entire league at)
Yoki, you'll get absolutely destroyed for that move if you do it come evaluation time.
Respectfully disagree, Don.
Playing Harden at PG is the same as playing Westbrook and Curry at SG. Out of position but very capable to play it nonetheless and will not be any detriment to the team.
Harden has the ability to play PG. He's a mismatch size wise, and it opens up for more drafting options moving forward. Besides, he's ball dominant already anyway, why not make him the ball handler period?
