What makes you think that? I'm not quite as hot as some people here are on kawhi, but he certainly seems to have a much higher ceiling than kyle to me.
Plz plz plz stop. Soneone with slow feet like KA wil NEVER be as good on defense as kawhi. Offense maybe he can score a little more when it's all said and done (he won't) Kawhi is still improving at the same rate as when he was a rook. That being said he will never win FMVP or DPOY.
He will never get that DPOY, for sure, and we won't make the Finals once the B3 leaves, but.... Kawhi can't really score on his own, and he can't (or won't) realise that. He forces shots, very-very bad shots.
While in the other hand, Kyle is much more relaxed, he gets almost every shot he wants, just because he can handle the ball MUCH better than KL. His vision is incomparably better, just like his passing.
Troll Level: Expert
What is it with the posters here? Kyle hasn't even solidified his spot in the rotation yet and you're saying he's going to be better than a player that has won finals MVP and DPOY. How about you wait and see if he can crack the regular rotation first.
Defense, to me, is more important than offense. If you can't stop anyone, then you better be the best scorer in the world to counteract that. Last I checked, Kyle is nowhere near being a great offensive player. He may become one, I hope he does, but right now, he's nowhere near it.
Some real idiotic posters are putting me off players that I'm starting to like.

Actually 4 things about Marjanovic that he showed in this game:
(1) Able to make his freethrows.... you can't hack-a-boban with him.
(2) He has a midrange move
(3) He routine catches the ball with one hand.... he's got baseball size mitts.
(4) At the post he is a source of assists across the court..... did you see the assist to Mills from the post to the 3 point line?
Yes, he lacks mobility however on offense and defense he just has a real presence that will cost big problems for a lot of 2nd teams. A major matchup problem for any 2nd team center.
Agree with all your points, but I don't think Boban moves too bad for his size. Certainly seen worse, lumbering giants.
Guy is improving rapidly. Can't wait to see him by April. Now if we can get Simmons used to the NBA game we're set.
Marjanovic appears to be a very quick learner. An MVP from Europe certainly knows how to adjust his game and handle shortcomings.
Lateral mobility is his problem. Also he barely gets off the floor. But at 7'3" with that long wingspan, he can play an entirely different game and be very effective. Just the constant post up attempts will wear down any opposing center. He's one of those players whose presence affects the game even if he doesn't even touch the ball!
Sleight of hand:
Love these guys toying with the Rockets!
Cool!Sleight of hand:

I just love Manu's body language. No look past, walking away from the basket!! Also love how Mills takes a hit!!
Boris patented back pass. KA nonchalantly passes the ball to Manu. Rockets look like Washington Generals!!!
Agreed. Manu's "no look" was the play of the night. Also, nice was that shot he flipped up and in under the basket.
Diaw, Anderson, Ginobili and Mills..... going to absolutely toy around with opponents. Wait, who's the fifth guy..... Duncan! Stacked!!
amazing!!!Sleight of hand:
Love these guys toying with the Rockets!
I'm surprised by his straight ahead speed. He gets up and down the court like any big man, and willingly.
for couple a minute stretch that unit (TD/Diaw/Manu/Mills/Anderson) completely clowned the Rockets with a passing galore..it was flashback to 2014 FinalsSleight of hand:
Love these guys toying with the Rockets!
Kyle has made a believer out of me this season, but what the is wrong with you. Kyle can never be the 2 way threat that Kawhi is because his defense can never really be anything above passable tbh. That alone makes his ceiling much lower than Kawhis.
One of the stupidest post I've seen on here in awhile, and thats saying something with dumb asses like dafakengineer and Aunt er running around.
The bench will be so much fun to watch
Replay of the game just started on nbatv tbh.

Read the second post above yours.
nbahd it has the replays of all games daily
