Nice. Anything he can do to expand his game is great! Id like him to learn to see the court a little more and work on the ball handling.

@stackmack has a good article on Kawhi apparently:

Sports fans are used to the usual suspects performing unusual feats of brilliance during the playoffs. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant have always shone on the biggest stage while this season Steph Curry, Paul George and the other Gasol brother have begun to make the leap to the next level. These things make sense to us, even if we weren’t entirely expecting the latter three to explode like they have.

We never expect the ones who quietly sneak up on us, impacting the games we’re watching, calmly and cooly changing the identity of a series, switching the narrative up on us.

Kawhi Leonard has been that player for the 2013 playoffs.

He's making a good decision. I hope the rehab is going well for him and that he will be ready to kill it this season for the spurs.

[ElNono]

Hope Colangelo doesn't crosses him out in the future, tbh...

Hmm, very concerning.

[Robz4000]

Congrats to George tbh.

[TXstbobcat]

Nice honor for George Hill.

That would suck if that happened.

Nice to see Kawhi put his health and team ahead of such an honor.

Hard not to love Kawhi. Personal glory means nothing to him

[ca®lo]

Man I'm loving kawhi even more.

If he continuescto evolve and grow as a player, he has all the time in the world to make the team.

This. I think we're all proud and protective of Kawhi, so grateful for him infusing this team with some hope.

Leonard makes me excited about the future of the franchise.
