PG - not as good of an offensive player as you think, he's really inefficient. great defender, but Kawhi is better in both


Kawhi is not even close to being on the level of Paul George offensively. I wish I could swap their teams for 1 season. There is a reason KD and LeBron are throwing shots at this dude. We wouldnt even be having this discussion
I would love to see Kawhi have to lead a team and take on the lead role offensively like George does.

o say he is better than players who are offensively way better than him. Kawhi cant carry a team offensively and thats the reason they are sitting at home right now. Defense is a team game but when it comes down the stretch, you need someone that can score the ball and Kawhi is not that someone (talking wing players here)

Being a Memphis fan, you probably dont know what offense is anyway.

The bad basketball Memphis plays has clouded your judgement. Just to let you know, part of the game is to actually get the ball in the hoop.

Okay can you tell me about what the Pels have taught you about advancing in the playoffs?

Hell who am I kidding, I am surprised you even know what they are

offensively:
15.1/4.0/4.6 FGA per game and 50.6/44.3/87.4 shooting% as the #1 option
21.2 PPG, 2.6 APG, and 1.5 TOV

or

17.9/7.0/6.5 FGA per game and 41.8/37.1/86.0 shooting% as the #1 option
23.1 PPG, 4.1 APG, and 3.3 TOV

so he's a better passer, but he's far more inefficient

Kawhi was 15th in PPG, 6th in PER, shot 45% from 3, 8th in true shooting, 7th in offensive rating, 7th in offensive win shares, and 9th in offensive box plus/minus.

Calling him not a great offensive player is literally one of the dumbest comments I've seen on here.

Because Kawhi isnt the number 1 option and Paul is a 1 man show. Just watch both play, if you dont think George is a more skilled offensive player then I dont know what to say.

Literally .1 less usage rating than LMA. If he isn't their #1 option on offense he is 1b.

So he isnt the #1 option. Come playoff time he took a back seat to Parker also. PG is Indiana's offense.

In two of the final 3 losses he shot 7-19 (38%)and 9-23 (39%). Combined to hit a single 3-pter in the last 3 games.


Thats what Leonard is. Put any good defender on him and his arse gets shut down.

Still averaged 23 a game and was the Spurs leading scoring in 2 of those 3 games

Until he becomes that, Kawhi will never be a top 10 player in my book.
So a player finishes second for MVP, won defensive player of the year (twice), will be first team all nba, first team all nba defense, was top 5 in win shares, win share per 48, box plus minus, real plus minus, and top 7 in PER (primarily offensive stats) and VORP, yet he's still it TOP 10 in your book? Not to mention he has a finals MVP as well.

Well of that's the case, then your book is too illogical to matter. But after seeing your weird posts after the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, then either you're a troll or just have some weird and illogical opinions regarding sports in general.
