Paul George started his career with the Indiana Pacers. George was drafted into a team that had the potential to become a contender with Danny Granger already in his fifth year and Tyler Hansbrough entering his second season. They also had one of the best shooters in the league, Mike Dunleavy, entering his eighth season. However, it wasn’t to be. Hansbrough’s best season was perhaps his second where he ranked as the 14th most improved player. Dunleavy left Indiana after the 2011 season. And Granger had injuries after the 2012 season. George was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder before the 2017-18 season. He was then traded to the Los Angeles Clippers before the 2019-20 season. George left the Clippers in free agency and joined the Philadelphia 76ers before the 2024-25 season.
