The sophomore was known for making "The Blake Face" and starring in State Farm commercials with his father.
Now, he stands 6-foot-1 and is making a name for himself on the court, just like his father's teams did during the Lob City era.
Paul II started his sophomore season by pouring in 25 points in the season-opener for Campbell Hall (8-9). Not long after, he delivered his best performance of the season by scoring 33 points and recording four steals in a win over Madison (Dallas).
Paul II grew up watching those types of games from his father Chris Paul, who played with New Orleans, Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Golden State, San Antonio and the Clippers. The fourth pick of the 2005 NBA Draft holds the No. 2 spot in both steals and assists in league history with 12 All-Star nods.
The future Hall of Famer played his high school ball at
West Forsyth (Clemmons, N.C.) and was a top 10 recruit in the Class of 2003. In the McDonald's All American game he dished out 10 assists with LeBron James before going to Wake Forest for two years.
Just like his father, Paul II doesn't need to score to be contribute. On Dec. 2, he scored five points, but hit career highs with nine assists and eight rebounds as the Vikings won 80-57.
In his next outing, Paul II had seven assists and picked up three steals in another win.
In December, Paul II had a stat-stuffing, five-game run where he averaged 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.4 steals per contest.
That streak began exactly 20 years after
Jrue Holiday had a 24-point performance as a sophomore at Campbell Hall.
