    A rookie contributing to a contender isn't that uncommon. For example, in 2003, Spurs had a rookie from Argentina that help them to win it all.

    What is less frequent is a 20 years old rookie contributing with a contender. A little stat to show it:

    Playoffs minutes played by a 20 (or less) years old rookie:
    1. Magic Johnson (79-80): 658 minutes
    2. Boobie Gibson (06-07): 402 minutes
    3. Tony Parker (01-02): 341 minutes
    4. Derrick Rose (08-09): 313 minutes
    5. Kawhi Leonard (11-12): 255 minutes

    Aside of Gibson, Kawhi is with some nice players in that list...
    Figured Sam Cassell would be in there. Dude went 2 for 2 in his first two seasons on rings.

    I was wondering why his minutes were so low compared to Magic and Gibson besides that the playoffs isn't over. Then i realized he has only been playing 4 game series so far.
