Indiana Pacers forward Paul George has revealed that he wants to become a more physical player next season.

The 24-year-old averaged 21.7 points a game for the Pacers in his fourth season in the NBA, which was the highest average of his career, but he has outlined his ambition to be even better in the next campaign.

"I plan on being a lot more physical this year," George told the Indianapolis Star. "I really plan [on] taking contact and wanting to get contact and finishing through contact. That's the next step for me."

George was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Pacers in 2010.
