I'm surprised you said Cam Boozer is different from George. I haven't watched much Boozer tape but they seem pretty similar to me (physical versatile wings)
Technically, I said that Boozer is different from Sarr and Johnson, not George. I agree that Boozer and George are at least broadly somewhat similar (although like you, I'm not a college guy), but the point is that George would have to play a different role depending on if any of those threes guys becomes The Guy.
And hey, if it turns out GEORGE is The Guy, you can put basically anyone around him and it'll work!
Loving the Towel as a nickname...wipes up mistakes and keeps the biscuits warm!
The first ten games of a season are expectation and legacy free...too soon to tell but so much fun to watch. Hope still flourishing. The Bulls might be good. The Spurs could chase my favorite NBA record 33 wins in a row. The Warriors fountain of youth might be sustainable. Coaches are making five man substitutions. Teams are pressing full court. Anything can happen!
Your piece highlights the subtle difference between having no lineup identity and having no lineup constraints (George offering the latter). It’s encouraging when a rebuild passes its embryonic phase and some of the draft picks start to emerge as real players. The Jazz are also experiencing this with Keyonte George (whom I always confuse with Kyshawn) this year.

If we're talking purely on-the-court happenings, it's been an amazing season. So many close games, too!
