Following a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, George expressed his dissatisfaction with playing as a center.
“To be honest, I’m bored playing the five. It just doesn’t do enough for me. I’m used to scrapping and running around and chasing and fighting through screens. But, I think, being mindful of my ability to clog the middle and kind of help, cut off passing lanes and driving lanes and kind of battle with the bigs, is what Nick [Nurse] sees in that style,” George concluded.
This season George is averaging 16.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.8 steals per game
