Paul George and the Philadelphia 76ers have a lot to prove in the 2024-25 season.
According to former NBA player Kenyon Martin, fans have every reason to believe they will prove it all.
Speaking on Gilbert Arenas’ show, Martin said he expects a lot from George and the Sixers this year.
He thinks that George will be a perfect fit for the team, especially alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
He said that George will be able to find his spot on the court, post up some good shots, and still create great defense.
Will this be enough to make the 76ers one of the greatest teams in the East?

A lot of expectations will weigh on Philadelphia this year.
If they are a middling team once again, many fans will give up hope of any postseason greatness.
Several analysts have stated that George could be the missing piece the Sixers need.
With his ability to shoot and defend, he could fill some of the major voids the team has.
He’s a terrific player, even with his history of injuries and the Clippers’ struggles over the years.
So, what happens if he comes to Philadelphia and the team still has problems?
Like George, the team can’t seem to shake off the injury bug and it repeatedly holds Embiid back.
Plus, the Eastern Conference is crowded and incredibly competitive, posing a lot of roadblocks on the way to the playoffs.
Even with a fully healthy George on the roster, there are still legitimate concerns about this team.
