Paul George is set to make his season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, right as Kelly Oubre Jr. has been sidelined with an injury. That could be viewed as lucky timing for the Sixers; in theory, George will fill in for Oubre (who's been great this year) and give the Sixers the extra playmaking dimension he was always supposed to.
But theory and practice are two drastically different things, and the theory of Paul George has been better than the on-court results of Paul George since he got to Philly. Plus, with Oubre on the mend, George will immediately be tasked with a bigger role than he expected to play off the bat.
