Boston Celtics forward Paul George has been named one of the most overpaid players at his position by Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report. Despite his contract exceeding $110 million for two years, George's declining performance and limited availability have caused concern. He has played more than 60 games only once in the last seven seasons, with only 37 games played last year and 41 the year before. The report suggests that while George remains a quality starter, his current contributions may not justify his high salary as he enters his 17th NBA season.
