Kawhi is really good

[walker834]

I love watching him play.  Just super efficient and underrated team player who is top 5 in the league easy imo.  Plays at both ends.  Gotta get jaylen some run and see what he can do.

Curry
Lebron
Durant
Davis
Kawhi

I put him ahead of Harden and Cousins.  Giannis is making a name for himself too.  Paul George has to be top 10 or so....

It took Kawhi and guys like Butler a bit.  It's  a dream that Jaylen will be one of these guys. C's and Jaylen need to make it a reality.

MY favorite non celtic.  He has to be the most underrated superstar best player in the league even still.

Spurs are 25-6 2nd best to GS at 27-5.  Cleveland is 23-6. 

Popovich and Kawhi haven't missed a beat without Duncan.

If anything Kawhi has stepped up his game even further this year.

I forgot Westbrook but he is really the only other guy.   Take your pick for top 5 in the league and I'll take Kawhi.

I wonder how good he would be if not drafted by Spurs.

[walker834]

Not sure.  They had their eye on him when he was drafted by the pacers and then traded to them for George Hill on draft night.

A lot of his defence now has to watched because it won't show up on stat sheets, the guy straight up scares players and they'll just pass it away because they don't need the headache of dealing with him most of the time.

He's my favourite individual player in the league right now. Efficient, humble, always looking to improve every part of his game, and just plays hard every time he's on the court.

Fun fact - he's never had a technical foul in his 5 seasons in the NBA. That says a lot.

He wasnt drafted by the Spurs
Spurs traded for him...kinda suck now for Indiana bec they wanted to contend quicker and so they gave him away and now loom at where they are...in middle earth Hell and the Spurs have lucked out and continue to contend.

He is definitely a product of the Spurs system, there is no telling what he would have been in a different franchise but he definitely suits that Spurs mentality

They traded George Hill for the draft pick and then drafted Leonard, I believe.

Yeah just like we techinically drafted Jeff Green even though he was already traded at the time, there is no saying the pacers would have taken him if he wasn't already included in a trade.
