Nice. Work hard, young man. Work hard.
Founder and president of Impact Basketball Joe Abunassar thinks Kawhi Leonard’s jumpshot is a simple fix.
He says the ball rotation and footwork is fine. In drills, he tried to shorten his stroke and get the basketball on his fingertips and out of his huge hands.
It’s likely something the Spurs tweaked this week, too. Abunassar thinks it’s easily correctable when Leonard returns to work with him in a few weeks.
“It’s just a repe ion thing,” Abunassar said.
But repe ion isn’t always fun. Leonard turned 20 on Wednesday. How many guys that age, finally free of school and with some money, really want to spend summer sweating in a gym?
Leonard appears to be one. “If his workout was scheduled for 9 a.m.,” Abunassar said, “then he was in at 7:45 a.m.”
Sometimes he stayed until 11:30 p.m. Sometimes they had to tell him he had to leave.
“Kawhi is one of the most focused and serious,” Abunassar said, “I’ve ever had.”

"Sometimes they had to tell him he had to leave." (out of the gym) Thats not a bad sign, tbh.
well then you're trolling a trollI think that I am the one trolling him now TBH.
Sounds like the guy has a lot of good Spur qualities. Keep it up bro
The Hornets ranked 29th of 30 teams in Pace (# of possessions per 48 minutes) at 88.7. The Spurs ranked 14th at 92.3 poss/48min.
i thought chipp was working on him to improve his shot? or trainers not allowed due to cba?
You owned that guy.
I watched a regular season game against BYU, and the two games vs. UConn and Temple.
Here are my thoughts even though it was a small sample:
Kawhi is a very good passer he's got GREAT court vision for a SF I was really impressed, and a great rebounder as well. He can also handle to ball very well and create his own shot, there wasn't anybody that could guard him, he got to the basket at will. But what hurt him the most was his ability to knock down a damn shot lol, he is a REALLY bad shooter, there were sooo many times where he'd drive it in, get within 5 feet of the basket and miss an easy shot. He can post up as well, but of course his shooting is so bad he bricks everything.
His defense? I can't really say. It was REALLY odd that almost NOBODY he guarded tried to score on him, nobody tried to drive it in on him or anything. The only guys that did were Jimmer (he scored like twice on him) and Moore from Temple (he drove it in once on him). Example, in the UConn game Leonard was guarding Jeremy Lamb the entire game. Lamb went for 24 points on 9/11 shooting in that game. How many points did he score on Leonard? Just 4, from two fouls committed by Leonard, every time Lamb received the ball he gave it up when guarded by Leonard. The rest he scored on Leonard's backup. Same happened in the BYU game and Temple game. I was pretty disappointed, I didn't get to see his lateral speed/contesting shots, etc. It was weird as .
So far so good.
u called it Ed
Spurs have found their long 3
Nice bump.
Even better initial analysis. I remember reading this when you first posted it thinking, "damn I hope that guy knows what he is talking about". And you did.
Good call
Great take.
haha ppl scared of Leonard's defense
Man, Kawhi has been so awesome. He has blown away my expectations. I was naturally apprehensive at how good he could be with regards to helping a contending team, but wow has his growth been spectacular.
We all knew he could rebound, but the wide array of offensive abilities (3 ball, improved handles, finishing with both hands at the rim, mid-range pull up and ability to post up and score) has just jumped of the charts to me. It's scary to think where the Spurs would be if Kawhi would have been picked by another team one or two spots ahead of 15. It's really hard to remember a player this young having this sort of an impact on a le contender.
Love Kawhi.
Helicopter dropping the goods.
EHJ with the goods. You were spot on!

props for calling it when he hadnt even touch a basketball as a spur
Anyone remember watching him together with RJ during his rookie season? How did he fare as a SG.
