Paul George finds defending centers boring and prefers guarding wings

Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers expressed that he finds defending centers "boring." He prefers guarding smaller players and enjoys the challenge of navigating screens. George has been playing this role more often due to injuries to star center Joel Embiid and backup Andre Drummond. In their absence, the Sixers have started Guerschon Yabuesele and rookie Adem Bona at center. During a recent game, George was matched up against Pelicans' Daniel Theis in a centerless lineup, highlighting the team's need for flexibility in defense. George, a versatile defender, has experience guarding various positions. At 34, he is adapting to more matchups against bigger players, which may continue even when Embiid returns.
