Put PG on a team like the Spurs, with Pop crafting a system around him like Kawhi and I think PG would be a legit MVP candidate year in and year out. I think Kawhi is on the precipice of that, but not quite there yet.
I mean PG would do well they but he had never been an extremely efficient player, even when they were the #1 seed.

Has he ever had a situation where he could be utilized as an efficient cog in the machine like Kawhi is?

Lets be honest a bit. Pop has Kawhi taking 4 3PA a game. Mostly on good to excellent looks. Same goes for almost all of his two point shots. It's what Pop does. Paul George is the beginning and the end of the offense in Indiana. So he is the entire focus of defenses.

He has never had anything close to the supporting cast and stability Kawhi has had. Drop Kawhi into Indiana from his rookie season and do you really think he becomes Spurs Kawhi? More efficient then what PG has done? I personally don't given what I have seen from both.

In a 1 on 1 game I would take PG. If I had to choose between Indiana PG or SA KL in a game, I would take Kawhi. If that makes sense.
