Paul George vs. Khris Middleton

Are they really that different? I've not watched enough of Paul George to be able to answer this confidently. Both players seem like:

  • Large wings capable of playing defense (when they want to)
  • Not overwhelmingly athletic on offense
  • Very willing to use the two-point jumpshot, though PG puts up more
  • Capable but limited playmaking/passing ability
My bias is that PG is overrated defensively from his IND v. MIA series about 3-4 years ago, though I'm willing to acknowledge that I've not watched enough of his games. Is it just a little volume/potency that is separating the two? Tell me your opinions.
