Claude’s eFG% is 51% and George’s is 47%.  Claude is more efficient; both are near middle-of-the-road efficiency.

Where Claude shines is using his size to get to the rim and draw fouls.  He’s good at the line.  George is equally good at the line but gets there about a third as often as Claude.

Claude can’t shoot 3’s and doesn’t play like a PG, at least not on paper.  He looks like a non-shooting SG.  The assist numbers are just okay and the turnovers are high (close to a 1:1 ratio).

George is smaller (but not small) and doesn’t do as much work near the rim, but can shoot passably behind the arc, enough to be a guy you can’t just leave alone out there.  He appears to be more of a PG than Claude, with good assist numbers and closer to a 2:1 ratio with turnovers.

I don’t know what the staff’s intentions are with roster construction and play style.  Claude worries me because the team is not projected to be good from 3.  He doesn’t help there and doesn’t seem like a guy who gets the ball to shooters often.  I haven’t watched his games, though, so maybe he has a drive and kick ability that will work for us.  George seems like the more prototypical PG.

I know absolutely nothing about how either play defense.  Defensive efficiency stats are close to worthless.  That could be a big factor.
