George by far.
George is a second tier all-star. Kawhi is a deluxe role player.
Great point, we will see how KL's defense holds up with more offensive responsibility.
But I still give KL a slight edge on defense right now ...
George by far.
George is a second tier all-star. Kawhi is a deluxe role player.
allstar is misleading, when every man and his dog knows its nothing more than a popularity contest, same with the all nba/defensive teams...
Everyone underestimating Kawhi.... Yall are gonna be shocked when this nalga is in the discussion for an all-time top 30-10 NBA player
i guess thats the best complement we could expect from you
George, because he doesn't play for a welshers team
Leonard by far. Kid just dropped 19 and 16 in game 7 of the NBA Finals at the age of 21 without having plays called for him. He was able to drive on Lebron whenever he wanted, and has shown a good pull up midrange jumper in the past. His post game looks solid as well.
Leonard.
George is too inconsistent in what I have seen of him.
Both are similar molds but I believe Leonard's defense and rebounding is more valuable to a team than George's (slightly) better offense.
leonard without plays for him posting up them numbers, is like stephenson who was given free reigns without a defender bothering to defend him in the heat/pacers series,
not saying stephenson is on leonards level, but happens when teams dont play defense on you
Kawhi Leonard in the NBA finals averaged: 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, 51% FG.
if Kawhi had an offense running through him, i'm sure we would see those volume stats george has
PG has a good team around him he can fully utilize, dont like his decision making everytime he has the ball going downcourt he is always looking to score then finding another open man to help with the team offense production...
seems like every quarter you see him dribble down court chucks up a 3 cause he felt like it....whether his confident of his chucking, but damn is there really a need for him to go kobemode like that chucking
Paul George is more offensively rounded and is a great defensive player already.
Kawhi is terrific as a one-on-one defender, among the best in the league today and is getting better at team defense. His potential as a lock down defender is possibly the highest in the league for small forwards/ swingmen/ guards.
But Kawhi is still a ways to go before he attains George's offensive repertoire. He has to better his ball handling and passing. Plus the coaching staff has to develop his mid range, shot creating for self game as well. George has a one year edge over Kawhi too.
All in all, it is easy to say that George is slightly ahead in the overall game as of now, but Leonard has a slightly better ceiling. In 3-4 years time, these two could be among the best players in the league.
cant be the best if parker is still here
Leonard will be better cause he works harder than anyone in the league
This is a great question. I do wonder about PG's decision making but then again, he is only 22. Being that he is a 6'9 playing at the 2 when he'd probably do himself better if he bulked up a little and made the 3 his full-time position is undoubtedly the more talented of the two. Maybe not a huge gap between the two. With that being said, Kawhi proved his mettle in the Finals having to guard the best player on the planet and then providing 14 and 11 as a 2nd year player is in itself, a promising thing. I think if Pop is around a while longer, Leonard is going to be on the fringe of s om but he could also be a viable 2nd or 3rd option as well. PG might not be in Indiana for his entire career, but at this point I would say PG but Kawhi is also a heady defender whereas George would make too many mistakes in the 7 game series.
that parker couldnt hold kawhi back this g ame even withthe hero ball antics
Solid take bro
Called it, you glorious bas .
How did you know?
The goods ^
Nice.
How Durbeta getting all salty? He still ain't over Kawhi holding him to 6 points below his season average.
