Re: Nick Batum or Paul George

Paul George because of his height and athleticism.

[The 24th Letter]

I usually don't like comparisons threads but this is a good one...lol

Off the top ill say Batum

Re: Nick Batum or Paul George

Their stats are really close and both can play Def very well.

With that said Paul George is 2 years younger has a cheaper contract, Taller, and longer. Ill take George.

I think Batums game is a little more mature and polished than George's but doesn't have as much upside. U can tell that George can do more when u watch him play.

But it's very close.

I won't choose George until I can see him again in the playoffs. Last season he wasn't much of a factor in the big games.

Re: Nick Batum or Paul George

How about you won't pick Batum until he makes it to the playoffs.

Lol good one... I'd take George based on upside, ball handling, and athleticism

He has. But it's likely both of them make the playoffs this season. I'll decide then

Paul George IMO has star potential. Not saying Batum doesn't, but I just don't see it the way I see it in George

I think this sums it up perfectly. George still has some growth. He needs to become more consistent and his ball handling can improve. He still seems like he can't handle his body sometimes. lol

But the man has potential to be a monster. 6'10 with like a 7 foot wingpsan. Wildly athletic. Already one of the best defensive wings in the game and his offensive game is now slowly but surely coming along.

I don't think it's close, George is a much better player in my eyes

[ojandpizza]

This is how I look at it.

As of right now neither guy is that go-to type player.

With that being said if I was picking one of them to play for me right now it would be Batum. I think he is more suited for the robin to somebody's batman type role. At this point he seems more comfortable with the ball in his hand, and is better at setting up teammates. He's also better defensively and scores just as many points as George does.

If I was going to start fresh and rebuild for the long term George is who I would pick. He is the one with bigger potential IMO and his game is more versatile. Not many 6'10" guys can play SG. His size and length makes him a good rebounder and his offensive game keeps getting better and better.

Not close? You must watch a lot more Pacers games than Blazers games.

As for the not picking Batum until he makes the playoffs and the "good one" comment..

Batum has made the playoffs more times than George has and plays on a far worse team.

Wouldn't this make you want George though? He hasn't even scratched the surface of what he can do. He's a star in the making.

Batum is great don't get me wrong but I'll take George because he's younger, taller, and the athleticism is about even.
