Pippen 2.0, point forward once parker is gone in 3 yrs, perennial all-star tbh
Yep..very thankful that he didn't become a Jeff Green/Chandler Parsons/Nic Batum-level player, tbh..

Borderline Top-15 player right now with plenty of room to improve. At his peak I'm thinking Top 5-10 player, provided he isn't injury-prone...
Idiots that look at scoring when evaluating him will always be idiots. No player on the Spurs with Pop as coach will ever score at a high clip. Scoring 15 points per game on the Spurs is equivalent to 20 on most other teams. Couple years ago when Tony was an MVP candidate he only averaged 19 ppg.
Did he make the all star team yet?
Pippen 2.0 is still a reach, but I'm definitely upgrading his ceiling from "middle-class Scottie Pippen" to "upper class Scottie Pippen," especially if he becomes dominant in the post. After all, Scottie is the best perimeter defender in NBA history, so Kawhi hasn't yet proven he's Pippen 2.0, obviously. Pippen is a top 15-20 all-time NBA talent who's criminally underrated since he had to play in Jordan's shadow. If Kawhi's ceiling could be 75% Pippen, that'd be fuckin' great.
I do think he's a top 15 player in the current NBA, though. No doubt in my mind.
Definitely a top 15 player..
He's in a really unique situation, though..he's playing in the greatest system in NBA history, where the ball is constantly moving(well, when Parker is on the bench, at least), so we won't see his "raw numbers" potential for a while..he's not playing in a 90s style system(or current OKC/Houston), where high-usage ISO play allows him to put up raw numbers..
It's time for Kawhi to be unleashed. From here on out it should be a carbon copy of last night's game. Run plays for him. 15 shots a game minimum. He's clearly San Antonio's future so they need to give him the keys to the car and start letting him drive a bit and get his confidence up where he can play that way consistently.
at his pace of improvement... he'll be a superstar in 3 years. Book it.Quote:

Kawhi Leonard = Scottie Pippen 2.0
Call me a homer but if he keeps on working hard and if some top Western players get injured, he might get one All Star selection when it's all said and doneQuote:

actually currently am. Poor man's Lebron shone bright along Pop's Spurs. :tuQuote:
