It only took ten selections for the first big suprise of Thursday's NBA Draft - the Pacers' selection of Paul George. While even avid college basketball fans may not have ever watched George star at Fresno State for two seasons, his potential is unmistakeable once you see him play.
His most common NBA comparison is Danny Granger, and you can see a lot of DG in his game. He's long, athletic, and he can score, but will need some polish to become a complete player. Because of the Granger comparisons, some Pacers' fans have panned the pick, but the Blue and Gold need talented players - regardless of their position.
George immediately becomes Granger's backup, and may eventually push for a starting spot alongside Granger if Brandon Rush continues to struggle.
