Golden State Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala has praised LA Clippers superstar Paul George and declared him as the second-best player in the league.
The Clippers are heading into the 2022-23 NBA season with championship aspirations after an injury-riddled 2021-22 campaign.
On his podcast Point Forward, the 2015 Finals MVP claimed that George is a complete player and the matchup between the Clippers and the LA Lakers will be box office in the upcoming season. He stated:
"I'm still a fan of Paul George. Paul George, second most talented player in the league to me. He got it all. I think that would be a good matchup. Battle of LA must see TV as well."
The Western Conference will be extremely competitive in the upcoming season as the Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers are back at full strength; these teams were debilitated last season due to injuries to key players.
The reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors also reside in the West, while Phoenix Suns and the LA Lakers will have a point to prove.
Paul George's importance to the LA Clippers

Unarguably the second-best player on the LA Clippers roster, George is key to their title aspirations. George is widely considered to be one of the best two-way players in the league. He was sought out by fellow superstar teammate Kawhi Leonard, apparently 'Klaw' would not have gone to LA if 'PG13' hadn't arrived from Oklahoma.
George played only 31 games last season and averaged 24.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists while shooting better than 42% from the field. He also recorded seven double-doubles and had the Clippers in a good spot before going down with an injury.

What makes George so great is his ability on both ends of the floor. He is an excellent perimeter defender who uses his size and length while guarding an opposing player.
However, fitness remains an issue for PG13. The LA Clippers have two bonafide superstars in their ranks, but both are injury prone. If they can remain healthy for the entirety of the season, then the LA Clippers could very well go all the way.
