Realistically, what is Kawhi's ceiling?

[100%duncan]

This must be a joke. Posters think he'll be the 2nd best Spurs player of All Time? LMAO He's Scottie Pippen? He's in the top 5 of SF's in the league? LMAO....let me tell you what this guys ceiling is...he is the next Sean Elliott. He'll give you 12-14 points/gm...5-6 rebs.....shoot 800% from the free throw line and hover around 45-47% from the field. There's your ceiling. Sean Elliott was no slouth so its not like its a bad thing but lets not act like Kwahi Leonard is the 2nd coming of LeBron.

so many awful takes in this thread

I thought his ceiling was 2013 Kawhi, and I thought he'd take 4 more years to reach it.

Realistically, what is Ray's floor?

Six feet under?

At best a Tony lite replacement.

At worst an NBA bench warmer.

3rd string NBA point guard.

About what Jimmer's ceiling is.

You've got to be really something special (in the making) that, at age 21, and after the mind-numbing and soul-crushing event that GAME 6 was, you come out for a ing game 7 of NBA Finals and put up a 19pts/16rebs..That was the clincher for me as far as Kawhi sky-limit ceiling..

This already amazing Leonard still got that second outrageous leap in him..He will go as far as his ball-handling skills improvement go..That's the area where other non-big go-to stars in the league are quite ahead of him..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

An All Star that never gets selected for the All Star game.

Al Horford of small-forwards.

A utility man that can be a major x-factor and provide multiple game plan options for an elite team. Third option on offense, second at best. More all-defense selections then all-star.

A lot depends on how his knees hold out. He is believed to have jumper's knees. I don't think that goes away with time, especially for athletes so really depends on his knees being healthy.

If he has a healthy career, then I see a lot of Scottie Pippen potential on him. I've seen his draft workouts and practice clips and it looks like Kawhi can definitely dribble the ball, he just doesn't do it much since he's like the 4th option on the team.

I expect him to be the 3rd or 2nd option for the next two years until Duncan retires. Scottie Pippen was a point-forward so if Kawhi pans out, he can make an excellent sidekick to another superstar much like the way Pippen did with Jordan. Definitely a bad idea imo if the FO ever decides to make him the franchise player or number one option. Like I said, he can be a terrific second option.

Kawhi's ceiling is Prime Kirilenko.

al harringtonesque

My projections are right on target. Elliott will have a better career than Leonard when all is said and done. Overrate Leonard all you want. He's a good player but he wont be better than Elliott.

His ceiling is Andre Iguodala, IMO.

Still hasn't led the team in scoring past the first round

Not quite Tim Duncan, but I think he has the ceiling to be the 2nd best Spurs player ever and even win an MVP award. Great athlete, tough, and already has a killer mindset with balls of steel. We got a real steal.

Damn, this was some Nostradamus

[Joseph Kony]

probably a top 10-15 player in the league. But who knows, he's 22 and has great work ethic.

Tony is a top 5 player in the league and no one thought he'd be in this position he is now.

[TheGreatYacht]

^ WOW

[NameLess Scrub]

I don't blame anyone who thought Kawhi wasn't a franchise player.
I kinda question the people who said he was going to be.. did they know something?

This rubbing needs to stop. Kawhi's development is a legit and welcomed surprise.

I guess it's just entertaining..

To me it was obvious based off of his progression and potential. You saw flashes of it early on tbh.

Our family used to do custom tile work. We did Chuck Person's house and his ceiling was about 2 feet taller than avg. in all the rooms.
