A Gordon Hayward/Paul George injury rehab comparison

In my recent article arguing that Gordon Hayward should go back into the starting unit, many reader comments compared Gordon's comeback to that of Paul George. Those comments prompted the following.

Paul George broke both bones in his right-lower leg on August 1, 2014. He faced surgery very quickly - was shooting jumpers in late October, 2014 - went through his first full practice on February 26, 2015 - and played his first game back on April 5, 2015.
