George is on pace for one of the worst offensive seasons of his 15-year career. Nick Nurse and Tyrese Maxey remain firmly in his corner.

Which then brings up another issue with George: his lack of drives and shot attempts at the rim. Per Cleaning the Glass, George is only taking 16% of his shot attempts at the rim in 2024-25 which is the lowest number of his career. One has to wonder if George is still finding his niche or if the knee is bothering him and limiting him a bit.

Whatever the preseason expectations were on Paul George in Philadelphia, the in-season results have been clear. Offense is the last aspect of the nine-time All-Star’s game to acclimate to Philly, with the returns from the first 24 games well below George’s outstanding career levels.
