No sh*t. I'm talking about that training camp or whatever it is that Coach K invited Kawhi to. Do your homework before you start acting like a smart as*.
There's a USA Basketball training camp this summer that he may participate in.

He is not a WAY better shooter than Wade, just a better spot up three point shooter. Yes, he is taller and both rebound very well for their position. I do agree though that he needs to work on his handles and off the dribble jumper. That's where he can imitate Wade with that mid range hook shot/floater that Wade killed us with. Wade was never a three point threat and Kawhi is not really one off the dribble. If he can improve ball handling and a mid-range off the dribble jumper, he will be an all star.
shooting, post moves, FTs, lateral quickness, maybe a little voice modulation.
Do you guys think I don't know that? - It was all over the board when he got the invite - I was referring to TheGreatYacht's rant about a WEEK OF TRAINING camp which isn't for over a month from now. He's 21 years old for crying out loud. It's an honor for him to be invited, and he'll be fine.
transition offense
An aggressive mentality -- at all times during the game.
I would say Kawhi needs to work on:
1. Ball handling
2. Vertical jump
3. Mid range jumper
I still see Kawhi as a Larry Kenon type player, good rebounder, pretty good jump shot.
Most importantly ball handling. If he had great ball handling he'd be impossible to stop on fast breaks, but unfortunately because of sloppy dribbling he stops himself sometimes.
Second, court vision. He needs to increase his court vision a lot! That's another reason he has struggled with fast breaks. He needs to see the court way before he gets down there. This will improve naturally over time, but increased studying and laser therapy for his eyes will help.
Third, he needs a consistent jumpshot off of the dribble. If he can improve in these three areas, he'll be unstoppable.
Fourth and finally, free throw shooting, because they're called FREE throws for a reason and you should never bail out a team for getting beat on defense and resorting to fouling. Fouling isn't part of the game. Make teams pay for fouling.
Dribble drive and midrange game. Kid could beast offensively next year. Pop seems to be at the point of trusting him and letting him flourish, which is a good thing.
Is Kawhi really that bad at ball handling? I always saw him as a good ball handler in traffic. The GIF from his rookie year against the Knicks comes to mind.
If Kawai is able to bring the ball up the court and create plays for himself on either a 1on1 situation, or the ability to drive to the basket (which he does) He will be almost unstoppable. By doing this he needs to master and learn good Ball Handling Skills much like Kobe and Lebron, both which are tall just like Kawahi is.. but have the ability to dribble is what sets them apart to another level of Supers om
The Spurs need to give Kawhi the keys to the team. TP has shown he's not reliable enough in the big moments. TP would work great in a secondary role.
dude Kawhi dropped like double his season average in those games and the only reason we were in position to potentially have a go-ahead three in game 7 was because he made a 3 to cut the lead to 2 on the last posession dumbass
