2. Paul George

Clipper Stats: 22.9 PPG, 6.3 rpg, 4.8 apg, 39.8 3p%

Paul George pulled the wool over just about everyone’s eyes. All along, George had the entire NBA community fooled into believing that he was bound to be a Laker. Yet, after revealing that he actually grew up rooting for the Clippers, and subsequently being chastised for it, George should remain in the white and blue for years to come.

In only three seasons, George has averaged 22.9 points per game to go along with 6.3 rebounds. Unfortunately for George, the injury bug has been a consistent theme during his Clipper tenure.

Regardless of his inability to stay healthy, if George can prove that his injury woes are behind him, he could solidify his placement on our list. In totality, seldom has LA had a player of George’s caliber on their roster. From the midrange, George is money. In three seasons donning a Clippers jersey, George has nailed 48.4% of his 2-point attempts. Also, in two of his three seasons, George has proven to be a deleterious shooter from behind the arc, knocking down at least 41% of his attempts from 3-point range.

Smooth on offense and a pest on defense, George is one of the best small forwards in Clipper history.
