Fresno State Bulldogs forward Paul George is expected to hear his name called during the first round of the NBA Draft.
George may not be quite as well known as some of the other players because he played at a small school. However, there is nothing small-time about his game, although he still has to shed the “soft” label.
He has quickly risen up draft boards because scouts are intrigued by his combination of size, athleticism and shooting ability. George just turned 20-years old, so the fact that he is younger than some other players also helps his cause.
