The ability to recruit an elite point guard.

Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Its definitely dribbling to beat people in the set offense. His handles are far from elite. Next would be seeing the floor in the set offense. KL in transition is a monster. Third would be the D on quicker guys. He can handle Lebron, but has tougher time with guys like Klay because they can use off screens and PnRs effectively. He's not great at handling screens. His off ball D is tremendous and often leads to scores. The aforementioned, and handling the big tough scorers like P. George, Lebron, Mellow etc get him DPOY

Klay barely scored against Kawhi in the regular season.
There is a myth that Kawhi can't defense fast guards, after last playoffs when he hold Westbrook just to 37 FG%, 26 3P%, 6 FTA, 4.5 TO, he proved it was false.

The guys that use screens, I disagree. He can get better at this.
Westbrook still got into the paint on him. We could not cover him. 37% is not unusual for a good Westbrook game.

Beating the screens is a team-job not just one player's, sadly, we saw it against the Clips high-double screens in 2015 playoffs.
And for the record, Westbrook scored more and got to the free line more against the Warriors than us.

The OP asked what he can improve on. I told you why he got DPOY. Off ball, ability to cover the best big scorers.
And so what with the Warriors, they don't have KL.

Dont keep up with that.
Just replying on what I see.
Ball handling set offense.
Seeing the entire floor with the ball set offense
The above allow one to be a playmaker in the set offense.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Ref work. And that it starts in the first quarter and never stops, it is its own game.
sacrificing his body. getting to the free throw line at all costs on offense. Punishing his defenders on offense so harshly that it helps him on defense
dribbling the ball. Yes he's better now but let's face it he still sucks.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Kawhi has improved a lot as ball handler in pick and roll situations, his numbers were ELITE in the regular season.
1.13 PPP 51.5 FG%, 96.7 percentile.
Just to put in perspective, our two main guys as pick and roll ball handlers weren't near his level last season
Parker
0.89 PPP 47.2 FG% 57.4 percentile
Manu
0.67 PPP 36.4 FG% 19.7 percentile
Pop should give him the opportunity to run p&r with Gasol and LMA more often, as the next step in his game.
But I can't see Pop doing it with Parker/Manu's still on the team, it's likely that Kawhi should wait another season...
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
This may sound like a coach wanting a star player to grow for the team, but I think he needs to become MORE vocal as a leader. With Tim and the others getting older, one of the young guys needs to step forward. Kawhi should embrace that role.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
what about to use kawhi as pg in playoffs ?
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
One thing that worries me is his shot, I hope his last regular season 3P% wasn't a fluke.
Since we have only Danny as true shooter in the SL, a streaky-icy/hot shooter, the Spurs really need other one with Pau/LMA drawing attention in the paint and creating good looks for the perimeter guys...
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Better decisions with the ball. Sometimes he passes up some great shots. I think he's still not completely comfortable being the man.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
He is a defensive catalyst. Gasol's offense should take some pressure off of him to score. Kawhi could be the third best scorer in the team and focus more on corraling the likes of Durant. Watch Pops orchestrate the motion offense to free-up Bertrans and even hopefully Forbes because he could really be deadly off screens. That perfect balance of offense and defense will set the Spurs apart from the rest. I'm actually excited how this team is unfolding. :flag:

Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Greens not sinking his 3's and Timmy's declining offense put too much pressure on Kawhi to score imo. With the best front court Gasol/LMA in the league, I think Kawhi gets to focus on what he does best - Defense. Just my two cents.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
he's talking to the refs more... still not getting enough respect from them though.

Well, Kawhi has become a threat to score from anywhere on the court, you shouldn't waste the prime years of an MVP runner-up being the 3rd option behind two older guys.
For those who can't see Kawhi as an offensive player, just compare him to PG last regular season, or Harden's playoffs.

I would also add being more vocal on defense and trying to fill duncans leadership role in keeping everything clicking by commun8cating and making sure all players know their assignments, etc. He is the best defender in the league.

Came here to say this. He desperately needs to show more body language and get in the ear of the refs without drawing a T. His lackadaisical attitude last season cost him lots of points at the line. Not sure if this trait can be sharpened but I'd love to see it.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Not to settle... There were occasions where he would pull up to soon, fade away or force a shot over someone when he could have been more patient with the ball and created a better shot.. I think it goes hand and hand with the handles..
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
- With Pau in the team, he needs to work on his Pick and Roll game. Duncan barely got roll calls last year and when he did get calls it was painfully obvious they didnt respect his roll enough so the result was a double. Pau would be a different story..
- Needs to work the officials. He can't let Timmy work the officials for him. That's embarrasing. Work the officials on your own.
- Needs to work with Kobe or someone selfish. He needs to be selfish. There's a reason why Pop wants him to workout with Kobe. He needs more selfishness in him. It's his team.
- He can't stay satisfied. Noticed he start being passive after a good quarter or something.
- Needs to start being a real Pro and start speaking up against Coach Pop. Timmy was a great player to coach but even from the start of his career..he was a real pro. He stood up for what he wanted to happen in the court in a proffesional manner.
- Really needs to build an ego to counter Pop. Pop has been fucking up the team the last two years because Timmy has lost his game and in the process lost his ability to counter Popvich egotistical approach. That old man needs to realize the game is not about himself.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
To me Kawhi was pretty great already. Perhaps leadership is an area to improve.
It wasn't even needed with the big 3, but now, not only is it his team, he's getting younger teammates who look up to him.
In general I think he will be great and have a great season. I hope he inspires others around him to be great too and rise to the occasion when the going gets tough.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
I think others have said this in some form or fashion, but it would be great if he improved how he finishes his drives. He still sometimes looks awkward when he drives and stops, and you can tell he's thinking "Oh shit, now what?"
If he can figure out the "now what?" part, he'll be a beast.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
I guess you could sum it up by simply saying: Be a leader.
This means you not only have control of the team, but of yourself as well. There were many times where he and/or others wouldnt be doing what they needed to be doing. There are times where a player would become passive where he needed to be aggressive, some one would be playing out of character and needed to be reset or the team chemistry as a whole is off.
This seems like a it should be an individual or a coach thing, but sometimes it just needs to come from a floor general.
I would also like to see him become more dominant. He doesnt have to do it every night, but when he has too. Not just points, but take over the game anyway possible.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Buy the refs LASIK surgery
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Because Leonard is expected to play D and rebound, I think he ran out of gas in the series against OKC so I whatever offense he provides should come easier to him than it did last year. Maybe be even better on the 3 pointer and learn how to drive, or drive and dish off of it, maybe learn a floater. Learn how to recognize mismatches and post them up. TD could help in this area because hes such a cerebral player that was also a two way player. TD could play hero ball but alot of the time it was all about taking advantage of situations to his favor.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
A lot of the comments on improvement were on the mark, but I think they all were connected to the mental part of the game. He tends to try to force his way on drives, even when 2 or 3 defenders are there. That results in some turnovers that are from dribbling/handling the ball--but the real problem began before he tried to force his way in to a crowed lane. That was a mental decision and once made, he failed to see any other option.
He's getting better with decision making, but he may be forcing the issue sometimes because he feels the pressure to lead the team and score a lot.

wait another year for what? He'll be in what? His sixth season in the fall?
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
those losers in golden hate picked up a scorer but lost a screener. he is to weak to give a really hard, moving illegal screens like the rest of farriers.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
BBIQ is first. Second is the ability to drive and finish WHEN IT MATTERS. Third is use body more to draw contact. These all go together. If he had #1, then #2 and #3 would fall into line. To be a superstar he has to lead the team, when it matters, as the number 1 or number 2 option. He doesn't and hasn't done that.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
He needs to develop a pull up 3 pointer. We have Danny green to hit open set shots. Having someone in the starting line up that can run the court in transition and hit pull up 3's off the dribble to demoralize the other team would be a huge benefit to the team.

Need to workout with Kobe or Melo, Imo...as instructed by Pop.
Plus we need a counter ego to Pops lare ego. Tim used to be that guy so Pop wouldnt try to win with less talent to prove a point.

Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Really if all he did this offseason was convince pop to play him 36 minutes a game he would be MVP.

I might incite the Manu fans to get on my case but who cares? Its a public board. Manu doesn't necessarily help our young players if he doesn't defer from now on. Seriously. Not even our bench players, not Dijon, not Kyle, not anybody. Kawhi needs the ball too, but when he plays with Kawhi, Manu does spot up a lot. That is how he got his open 3s out of Kawhi post ups... that's one thing Manu has over Tony. Much better off the ball player, better 3 pt shooter. Tony is just a whole other can of worms. It's like that ironic thread: "what does he do?"
I do look forward to seeing Kawhi as a leader more.

Be careful for what you ask for. Without LMA we go nowhere. Without Phil Jackson, Kobes demanding ways makes them losers just like they were before he arrived.
Parker needed to score, it wasnt ego.

Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?

That would be a natural great leap of improvement that would cause opponents endless trouble.

Pick and roll as the ball handler. That's the most effective way of involving your teammates and putting them on places to succeed.

Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Ball handling
Spurs dont need an elite PG at all
All they need is a serviceable Starting level PG that wont get abused in the west
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
He needs to learn how to make this team better. He has a lot of empty stats that help him individually but not anyone else on team. He could learn a lot from Anderson, Manu and now Pau on how to read defenses and play offense accordingly. Too many times he's trying to get the rim or post when he misses a drop or kick to open player. When he's trying to get to rim he doesn't understand how pushing the ball to a certain spot on floor can get another player an easy lay in or jumpshot.
Defensively, he should be reaching his peak and should be able to wreak havoc on teams. Hopefully this leads to easy baskets off turnovers.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Ball handling, court vision, passing. Pretty much everything if he wants to be the best. Watch some MJ/Kobe videos and develop a killer mentality. Watch some JKIDD, Magic videos and work on pushing the ball, setting team mates up within the flow of the game to help provide a more fluent offense. Yep he's set the bar high lol
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
He needs to improve his passing ability off penetration. He can find his shot now. Now he needs to learn to find his teammates.
-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?

-
Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?

So sad Timmy is retired but that's life, at least Manu is still there for one last season.......
Hope Aldridge and Gasol come to love our Spurs too, so that we can have another potent big three.....

U do watch spurs games right? He's always lookign to score and attack his defender. It's just sometimes, the ball is in the hands of a particular player that things it's still 2007. I won't say any names.

Re: What skill or weapon does Kawhi need to create/add/improve this offseason?
Drawing fouls. He's great at avoiding contact enough to get a shot off, but refs seem to swallow their whistles when that happens. Work at forcing the contact, which forces the whistle, even if you don't get the shot away. Free throw attempts are better than a missed shot, and getting into the penalty is better for the team.

I agree with this. He also needs to be more aggressive when the game in on the line.
