Draft file
The story so far
Paul George's nine NBA All-Star selections, plus first-team All-NBA recognition in 2018, mark a forward whose best seasons joined scoring with disruption at the defensive end. His role is split between small forward and power forward, and No. 13 identifies him. That combination explains why his profile is about sustained value at both ends rather than a single statistical spike.
His route to that standing began when the Indiana Pacers chose him in the 2010 draft with the tenth pick. Career rows then list Oklahoma City, the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia, while his current-team entry places him with the Boston Celtics. A Most Improved Player award came in 2012, underlining how quickly the forward turned draft position into rotation value and defensive responsibility.
Good to know
On the court he lines up as a small forward and a power forward. Standing 2.03 m tall, he gives his side size in the frontcourt.
The jersey he pulls on carries the number 13 for his current side.
He has been selected as an NBA All-Star 9 times across his professional career, with the latest coming in 2024.
Born on 2 May 1990 and now 36, he is still active rather than retired from the sport.
The Boston Celtics are his current team, while his career has also taken in Indiana, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
