One of the most versatile defenders in the NBA. Poses a challenge for Lebron


He's the closest thing we've had to Bruce Bowen in terms of defensive acumen on the perimeter since #12 retired.

The best part about Leonard, though, is he's on a team and in a system that's giving him time to blossom into a great two-way player. Pop has done well not to rush his development, although I'm sure it's probably tempting.

So, no, KL probably won't be on many non-Spurs fans' top 15 lists, but his value and upside is crucial to San Antonio's success, IMO.

Kawhi is exactly the type of guy i'd love for the pels.

Don't take that as a knock on KL. I think he's an excellent player, almost a prototypical Popovich guy. If his offensive output can improve, he'll definitely be up there. He's only 22-23 right?

I don't think we'll really know just how good Kawhi is until the Parker/Duncan/Ginoboli starts to fade out. Right now, those guys seem to have found some magic age medicine.
