The Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George to be a third star alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Unfortunately, the early stages of their partnership have been defined by injuries and inconsistency, with George missing 41 games in 2024-25 and 14 early in 2025-26.
Thankfully, Dominick Barlow has bought George time by emerging as a player capable of checking several boxes Philadelphia will ultimately need its All-Star to be able to.
George is a nine-time All-Star, six-time All-NBA honoree, and four-time All-Defense selectee. He's earned his accolades by excelling as a skilled scorer, elite defender, and productive rebounder and playmaker who offers his teams a bit of everything.
