Kawhi Leonard: A Long Reach For Excellence

[SpurNation]

Looked but didn't find this story posted on ST. If posted or referred in another thread...please excuse the repeat. Nice read.

"When Spurs rookie Kawhi Leonard extends his arms horizontally, as if to fly, the space between his left and right fingertips can be measured in units of “wow."

Kah-wee is going to be spectacular in the near future.

with out summer league, with out practicing with the coaches and with a short training camp he still playing good in his first year. leanard is going to be scary next year when he learns all the tricks on this league.

Money Ball! A good player for a cheap price.

Great read. Leonard is easily the most exciting Spur after Splitter... and thankfully Leonard and Green are getting the minutes I'd like.

Thanks for posting. I'm loving the way Kawhi plays. Bowenesque as a defender, but is confident in his offense also. Wow!

Chip needs a raise!

Leonard's stroke is looking better and better.

I agree. Look at the turnaround on Tiago's freethrows from this year to last year. The guys knows his shit.

I don't know if you remember the funky shot mechanic Parker used to have his first season..his first basket made with us was an ugly ass three from a couple feet behind the line,t,,,. He has become a pretty reliable mid range shooter over the years, I can't wait to see the day we can rely on that from Leonard.
