Can somebody explain what's so special about Kawhi Leonard.
Good defensive player with elite defensive potential. Elite possession creator already with excellent rebounding and forces a turnovers at a good clip.
Offensively, Kawhi had a much better jump-shot than expected coming out of college and hit the three somewhere in the high 30s during the regular season and I think he was over 40% in the playoffs if my memory is correct. Terrific finisher in the open court. Good cutter. A solid 12-14ppg scorer already with good efficiency. With his athleticism, good potential to grow into a quality slasher and get another 4-5 points a game. Score somewhere in the high teens.
In summary, Kawhi Leonard's potential is very much like Gerald Wallace + with a strong jump-shot that has legitimate three point range. Possibly a Luol Deng type producer down the line.
Uh, yeah, what he said.
But yeah instead of hitting the rookie wall he went the other way. Shot above 40% from deep over the last few months. Already one of the better rebounders at the 3 in limited minutes.
All that said, i think Rubio adds a lot more to this team than Leonard takes away. Howard, Johnson, and Milsap should rest well tonight...
