Tony Snell likes Kawhi Leonard comparisons

[ironman2886]

Tony Snell has been compared to Kawhi Leonard.


Snell was the 20th overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls.


"I love it,'' said Snell. "I mean to be compared to Kawhi Leonard . . . we're talking about a phenomenal player. His defense is amazing; he works hard; he gets better every year. You can see the work he's put in.


‘‘This season, everyone had a chance to see him in the Finals guarding LeBron [James], so that speaks for itself.

I first thought of kawhi when I saw this guy get drafted...same body type and hair, although Snell looks like he's already a better ball handler..

.........and yet Thomas our second round pick statistically outplayed Snell in the summer league. The same Thomas who played so poorly the last couple of games that most Spurs fans who follow summer ball have him penciled in for Euro ball.

Yeah I'm torn..knowing the spurs, they'll send him over. However I'm having a hard time believing they have a better option at the 2nd or 3rd string sf(atleast for the reg season).

To be fair, Goulducluk and teague is treating the summer as if their own.

Golducluck and teague are in a ball hogging mission, specially the latter.

Has any American born player ever made it back to the Spurs after being shipped overseas for a season or two?
