Call me a prisoner of the moment but I would honestly give up the 6th pick in a trade for him. The kid is 22 and looked special tonight. Lockdown defense on the best player in the game, nailing jumpers and threes, tomahawk dunks, etc...Did I mention he's 22?

Same. Don't see anybody in this draft outside of Parker, Embiid, or Wiggins being better than Leonard long term. Would love to see how his game progresses as the Big 3 grows older and/or retire.

Leonard is actually a pretty good comparison for Wiggins. Except Leonard is not quite the athlete Wiggins is.

RC Buford is such a terrific GM.  Traded a much beloved George Hill, supposedly one of Pop's favorite players, for Leonard's draft rights.  Looks like it's paying off.  Doubtful they'd trade him.

If it's any consolation, Aaron Gordon had very similar college stats and playing style to Kawhi Leonard in college.

Gordon: 12.4 ppg, 8 rbs, 49.5% fg, 35.6% 3-pointers, 2.0 steals
Leonard (freshman): 12.7 ppg,  9.9 rbs, 52.3% fg, 20.5% 3-pointers, 1.4 steals

Leonard is a lot quicker with guard/ball handling  skills, and a much better offensive game. Gordon reminds me more of Kerilinko .

except KL has much more length to him. 7'4'' wingspan and i think a 9ft standing reach...maybe more. Thats a big reason he is clowning Lebron

Agreed.  Though I do think the coaching staff deserves a large amount of credit too; Leonard was a terrible shooter coming out of college and has turned into a good one.  The Spurs have gotten a lot of good players late in the draft, but I don't think all of these guys' careers would turn out the same way if were on other teams.
