ReauxlTide, I see exactly what you are saying. A lot of times really solid role players on great teams tend to get overrated.

Perkins (Celtics)
Ariza (Lakers)
Plenty of players for Cleveland round 1

You can only see how great a player is when he has the load to lead a team.

...You can't be seriously comparing Leonard's role with the Spurs this season to those players. I'm having a hard time even composing a response to this shite

Leonard is third on the team in USG% at 23.0 which is closely in line with other "solid role players" like KG (Celtics) and Paul Millsap (Jazz).

It's laughable to even suggest that Leonard and Ariza are on the same tier defensively. They both pass the eye test but Leonard's -5.7 ON/OFF net Drtg is comparable to the absolutely elite amongst all-time perimeter defenders. Ariza's best season doesn't even come close and this year he has just barely had a discernible impact.

Leonard is, at worst, a top 20 player in the league.
