Leonard at the 2..How would it transform the Spurs offense?

[cutewizard]

Basically, it all boils down to this:

IF KAWHI LEONARD IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME, THE SPURS SHOULD WIN THE NBA LE!

And so this season, the world is going to get the answer.....................

IS OUR "JON SNOW" THE BEST PLAYER ON THE COURT??

[TD 21]

The obvious was just the reference to minutes by Pop not me. Where and what he does when he plays is entirely up to Pop obviously as well as how well he is playing when he does play. That is still up in the air and preseason games are for experimental stuff we may see later or they may discard if they don't like it. Him passing up 3 pt shots is problematic, so maybe this is to be revisited later, but we saw Kawhi handle the ball a lot, and we saw him with Kyle again tonight.

I don't disagree on J.Simms, in fact I mentioned he started the suns game way back in this thread, and up until this game Dijon had not played a solid/tame game so I wasn't considering him as an option really.

I know, but the quotes were because it's not any more true to me just because Pop said it.

Why do you call him Dijon? This is not like Parker, Green, Ginobili and Mills, who are commonly referred to as Tony, Danny, Manu and Patty, instead of William, Daniel, Emmanual and Patrick. His name is Dejounte and that's what he's commonly referred to as.

It's a colloquial funny name that has stuck around from when he was drafted. I can't find the thread but someone said his name: Dejounte Murray, was too tough to pronounce, might as well call him Dijon Mus .. It's really just a funny reference to the name, not a pejorative from me.

He hasn't even scrubbed it up in a playoffs series like fathead and people giving him a ty nickname.

Very little to gain from this change. Danny Green's value drops if he's put on the bench and besides, there's no SF with the required skills to accommodate Leonard at the 2.

That said, I'd definitely like to see the ball in his hands a lot on the PnR and a little less post up play from him. More slashing, more going to the line.

Same I was going to say, it only makes sense if kawhi handles improve and he starts driving more otherwise the change is semantic
