The official Kawhi Leonard breakout AKA SUPERSTARDOM Year....

19-22PPG
7RBPG
DPOY level D

Let's Go kawhi!

Me and my nigga Kawhi are both going to break out this year with our careers tbh.

I'm sure kawhi is sick and tired of top 10 player in the NBA status.

I'm tired of above average pay myslef and want big money now.

I'll take the under on that point avg.

MVP for sure.

Already a superstar imo.

I don't think he 'll be crack 20 ppg now with Aldridge on board..It might be for the good of the team that he won't sacrifice his defensive effort to take on an extra offensive load..I would love for Kawhi to improve his ballhandling/playmaking abilities instead..Also he has shown he can be near the double digit rebounder..Something like consistent 18pt/8 reb/3ass/2stl night- in nigh out effort will do for me......

I hope this is the season of changes.

Keep feeding this ego maniac troll that only jinx Kawhi and the Spurs and bring bad karma...

Those averages would be very nice. Offense will center on the new centerpiece, no doubt. It could benefit Kawhi a lot tho having a bigmam stretch the floor instead of crowd the paint. I don't know how many times Kawhi broke past his man last year to run into a crowded paint with Tim and splitter hanging out. He always excelled with Diaw stretching the court. Double teams won't be as easy either with an offensive piece like LA. No one last year could command one but Kawhi.

If any Spur is going to win MVP, it is going to be LMA.

If this truly does become Kawhi's breakout year...NBA = f:lolcked

No. Kawhi already got league recognition for being one of the best defenders. All he has to do is put up more points and stay on a competitive team. LMA would have to put up close to 30pts to even be in the discussion which isn't going to happen.

18ppg, 8 rpg, 4 apg, 2.5 spg

DPOY, All nba 2nd team




Most importantly, 2nd FMVP.

Yup, i actually think this is the year Aldridge can become MVP especially if we end up with the best record. I hope Kawhi gets back to back DPOY though and an all star selection.

Another dumbass.

With KA around to teach Kawhi how to dribble, I think the sky is the limit for him now. Should be able to add league MVP to his trophy case soon.

He'll be a great sidekick for LMA. Kawhi will get 17 points on 50 percent shooting this year.

17 PPG and 50% shooting is actually very impressive so I will take that. If he gets higher cool, if not that is very good.

It's like everyone just forgot Kawhi averaged 20PPG in the last two months...

Using averages and not trends you'd think parker would shoot 40% from 3 in the playoffs. :lol

Kawhi was number 2 or 3 in RPM last year. Total stud. :bobo

2 injuries and no training camp and a terrible start and he still ends up in top 3 RPM. He can fly when he shakes off his rust.

The scary part about Kawhi is that he is only 24, which is easily 2/3 years away from peak performance age for his position in the NBA :wow..

Study chart:

https://i.imgur.com/zvamzYA.png

Kawhi would have to average mid 20s ppg to even be considered for the MVP..which isn't going to happen playing 30-32 mpg

He'll also go down with his yearly injury which will hurt his chances

22 should be enough to get him MVP..IMO..

Don't think he will be MVP this year obviously, but anywhere from this year to 2019

Kawhi is top 10-15 player... that's about it. That's alright though.... we are lucky to have him. Lets not be delusional about the player he is or really can be. He will never be a Kobe, Durant, or Lebron or one of those transcendent superstar players.


I guess it really depends on how you define superstar though.... if by superstar you mean allstar, sure he will probably be an all star a 3-5 times in his career.

When it's all said and done, Kawhi will be remembered by his defense not his offense.

With all the offensive horsepower on the Spurs it would be nice if Kawhi could concentrate on owning the court defensively and quietly average 16-17 points a game. Probably not going to win MVP with those numbers. Being a key contributor to another LOB would probably be more than enough for him would be my guess.

Vanilla player fan thread.

watch your words fellas...

chump is in this thread...If you don't want to get banned, be nice.

leonard averages 20 or more spurs are going to be in trouble
they need his energy for d
pop has told tp before not to score just shut down a player and he has
I would think they might be some games with all the new o with spurs he would ask leonard to shut down a player....like a curry

Agreed and I think its realistic now that Kawhi won't be asked to be the number 1 option on offense that he will be able to shoot a higher percentage this year. Kawhi is an inconsistent scorer so having LMA helps the spurs in situations where he lays eggs like he did against the clippers after the first 4 games.

That doesnt mean things will be 82-0 and 16-0.
Doesnt mean Porker will not be a pain in the ass hurting our marvelous roster.
Things are really nice on paper just not in reality because season hasnt started yet so I dont get the dementia references.
They are gonna kill that poor woman man.

if lma does well and spurs are the number one seed I could see lma get mentioned for the mvp award
I think he will average the most points on the spurs
but it could be a year that no spur averages 20 points a game

This whole "nobody understands how good Kawhi is" schtick is pretty ridiculous... Every true basketball fan appreciates him, and he has the DPOY award (despite missing significant time with injuries) to prove it. Pop and multiple players are on record saying he's the foundation of the new Spurs. It's not a secret. That being said, I'd bet he scores just under 20ppg with higher efficiency than last season. I'd offer to bet money on it, but everyone here knows Apalisoc_9 isn't remotely honest & doesn't follow through on promises made on spurstalk, the proof being that he still posts...

We need game 1-4 kawhi, not game 5-7

ah these threads ... I missed them ...

















not

I'm hoping the Spurs will lead the league in # of players who average double figures in scoring...

But of course, the player fans will be more interested in having their favorite players lead the team in scoring...

In a vanilla thread this ups the vanilla to extreme.

A couple points. Kawhi won't win dpoy or mvp. Those are popularity awards and kawhi barely beat d green last year. Either green gets his makeup call, gobert gets it, or one of the old name veterans (d Jordan, Chandler, hibbert)


Likewise, mvp goes to curry, LeBron, Durant, Davis, Westbrook, harden, lma, and then maybe kawhi, but again probably dray before him.


The best target for k is all star and nba second our first team. And of course the lob.

I'd be happy with another FMVP. That trumps league MVP for me.


As long as Tim rings.

Again though, wouldn't lma be more likely? People acting like is big three vs k and nope, not on offense. If kawhi is our best player next year then something went terribly wrong.

Well what I meant is that you made an irrelevant argument

"We need game 1-4 kawhi" that literally means "We need good play kawhi" thats hard hitting analysis.








Good to see apo thinks I'm old. Or that age invalidates my analysis. Kawhi is going to be good, but expect lma to be the star. It could be star 1a and 1b but not any better then that.








The point about awards is the delusions of op. Kawhi won't win either dpoy or mvp.

Kawhi barely beat green, but If kawhi hadnt missed so many games he might have just run away with the dpoy award his missed games is what made it close imo. top 3 for mvp next season will likely be AD, lebron, and maybe durant if he can get back to his old self...................then curry, harden, and westbrook Spurs too stacked to have 1 player being far and away the best player on the team.

If kawhi hadnt missed as many games as he did, he might have just run away with the dpoy award. His missed games is what made it close imo. Top 3 mvp canidates will likely be AD,Lebron and KD (if he can get back to his old self.) with curry, harden, westbrook falling far behind.

well... yeah. the spurs have shown they're a championship caliber team, particularly when kawhi is playing at his best. when kawhi was poor down the stretch, the team struggled.

part of getting better as a player is also increased responsibility. while we all praise kawhi's development, it also means the team relies on him more. the better he gets, the more reliance there will be. so if he's going to have letdowns in the playoffs, we aren't going to get far.

the opposite can be said about tony. as he has declined, the team relies on him less. he's not as instrumental to our success as he had been before. nobody here expects him to play like mvparker again.

"I hate player fans"
Lol
I hope they win #6. IDGAF about a damn league MVP.

As long as Matt Barnes is in the league Kawhi will never be a superstar.

I fully expect Kawhi to be a 18ppg scorer(no less than 17) like he did at the end of last year. If he scorers more than that I would be happy, but not at the expense of the defense he played last year (especially at the end, those were Pippen numbers in less minutes!). Without Lamarcus I would be saying otherwise because Kawhi probably could be a 20-22ppg on 48-51% and 4apg kinda guy(and any defensive drop of would be mitigated by Danny somewhat). But with Lamarcus the team is best served with Kawhi second to him on offence so Kawhi can defiantly maintain DPOY level defense(and even improve).

The most important thing for Kawhi to do is stay consistent (in play and health) so the team doesn't have to lean on the older players. I'm confident he can play well 95% of the time but Kawhi may just be injury prone. I'm not ready to say that yet, but if he gets another injury, especially a hand injury, I won't be able to say otherwise...

We are not there yet. Present tense.

And I am skeptical this team will automatically be successful in the future. But so far, I can't remember a year this good except when we got the rights to draft Robinson then Duncan.

This ! Thank GOD we have LMA now to anally rape Griffin all over the court, instead of that soft cuck Splitter.

I think Pop will draw more plays for LMA than Kawhi. He will be the 1st to go Spur in the offense, West & Kawhi will be 2nd or 3rd option.
Kawhi will be the main man on defense.

West as 2nd option is a little far fetched ... the original Big Three are not gone yet

Leading scorer doesn't mean best player.
Aldridge can be the offensive man of the team but if Kawhi plays at the level he did in march/april, he will, without a doubt, be the best player on this team.

EXACTLY! With all of the proven (and potential) weapons on this team, if any player averages 20 pts/gm something is wrong. PATFO did not assemble all of this talent to lean on a single player. If any Spur averages 20 pts/gm that means another weapon we have is being under-utilized (injured or has misfired badly or possibly has fallen into Pop's doghouse). It also means that somebody is playing more minutes than Pop has in mind. I honestly believe that Pop would be in Nirvana if he had a team that had 10 players averaging +/- 20 mins and 10 pts per game. Look at the recent trend of keeping everybody below 30 mins/game. With the roster he has this year, Pop's target may drop even lower.

That is Kawhi's challenge this season. When he is at his best he is clearly our best player. When he is less than his best our best player (by default) is a player who is less dynamic - even TD or LMA. That doesn't mean Kawhi has to lead the team in scoring. But he has to be our all-around best player. If he averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals a game (30 mins), he would be a beast in the Spurs system. Easily our team MVP, but not even on the radar for league MVP.

On the other hand, I think Pop will allow Kawhi liberties to make sure he's in the all-star game.

OP is a faggot

If we get for the whole of next season the Kawhi of March/April 2015 then yes, superstardom. It still remains to be seen whether he can maintain both the health and consistency to pull it off. An efficient 20/8/3/2 guy with elite man and roaming defense will be a Top 5 Impact Player in the league...

Well we already bump your FanDuel bet posts and laugh at you, loser.

Leonard at best would be the 3rd leading scorer, he'll behind both Parker and Aldridge.

Spurs lost against the Clippers because Leonard had to force his offensive game. Clippers quickly shut it down by double teaming him down low.
