BBall Breakdown: Why Kawhi Leonard Is One Of The Most Efficient Players In The League

[bklynspursfan]

I'm not convinced that Tony's 3 pt% is real. The stats don't tell the whole story. He was very selective with his threes. He'd have to greatly increase his volume for me to be convinced, but I still hold out hope for Tony though.

Patty has a much quicker release and not afraid to pull up off the dribble.

TP is more of a if he's set and catches the ball, (ideally in the corners) he's pretty efficient...

It's something he's worked on as he's gotten older, and if Kawhi is going to handle the ball more, I could see him attempting 1 or 2 more a game and becoming more of a spot up shooter.

The problem with TP's 3-point shooting is that his high-volume attempts come entirely from the corners, he rarely shoots 3s elsewhere..he has the highest % of corner 3s for a PG in NBA history and it's not even close..it's a very unconventional style for a PG, which makes it difficult to optimally utilize him off the ball..

Ideally, Parker will be shooting a higher volume of 3s from different spots on the floor, assuming he has been working on expanding his range radius..

Agreed, he will need to take some expand his 3 point shooting areas. I think at this point he probably knows that.

straight on doesn't seem to be his thing, but the elbow/angle (?) shots, although a small sample size he seems to hit pretty efficiently. Those are some he'll need to take more to keep the spacing with that starting unit respectable.

If they are playing Leonard in the PnR, then I want Mills starting and Parker being the attacking six man off the bench. It just makes sense by having one of our strongest shooters out there if the ball is going to be in Leonard, Gasol, and LMA hands.

I don't think they will do that all game, to preserve energy and legs for the 4th Q. But maybe they have Mills there to close out the game. We saw him on occasion to close a game here or there.

There's still that dude in Cleveland. Forget his name, but he's got a shot.

I am not convinced with the slim down version of Lebron just yet. But I never said that Kawhi is the favorite to win the MVP trophy. I said "I wouldn't be surprised if Kawhi ends up being the MVP".

That dude's gotta be in the conversation. If you mention Curry, KD and Russ, you can't leave him out. That's all.

I argued that Curry, KD and Russ won't be good enough. I don't see how Lebron fits in that category, which is why I left him out.

I don't believe you.

I miss the beautiful game, but i'm all for whichever play style gets us wins.

Tbh..

Let's remember how the NBA works.

If (Lebron just formed another super team) OR (Somebody had a super season/story)
Give MVP to someone else
Else
Give MVP to Lebron

Why didn't he talk about his defense? That's the main aspect that separates him from other top players

Kawhi has become a huge offensive threat and the video wants people to see it.

After winning two DPOYs, most NBA fans know about his defense, but his offensive game always has been underrated until very recent times.
