What's going on in here?
Wow, Apo
Evan Turner has never been a good NBA player..how did he even get in this conversation, tbh?
your takes
stretch is easily the dumbest poster in ST history tbh
The takes in this thread are by the shovel .. Even good, level-headed posters really missed big time here, which shows what an extraordinary rise the kid has had..
You might just keep on upgrading...Dude is probably going to threepeat as DPOY--from the in' perimeter..
IMO, he looks like he got the best peak Melo/Pippen combo for a ceiling, which is a destructive force if it ever materializes in him..Hope I'm not still underrating him as he is at least a couple or 3 seasons away from peak age for an NBA player according to most studies..

You can't really blame anyone for really missing Kawhi's potential.
Out of college, he couldn't shoot, dribble, pass, or really create his own shot. His athleticism is also subpar compared to the league's top perimeter scorers.
He's a testament to what hard work and study can accomplish. What Kawhi is doing is unprecedented in NBA history. Pretty much every great was heralded out of high school/college.
Out of any player in recent memory, Kawhi has the biggest gap between initial expectation (when he was drafted, Bowen 2.0 was what he basically hoped he'd become) to current level.
interesting how they the general public outside of spursfans trying keep that got kirby relevant by sayin kawhi is the next kirby or jordan
kawhi aint receiving no torch or whatever from 2 has beens, let him create his own destiny....
consider that Kawhi was drafted 15th, same number as Steven Nash. Kobe was drafted 13th that same draft. Right there, two all-time players with similar expectations coming out, based on general draft position.
Now, I would not put Manu, Tony, or Dreymon Green (2nd round and very late 1st) in the same category as Kawhi at this point; Manu at his peak had a similar impact on the game but Kawhi is so good two ways, I just can't compare him to these guys.
Bump for this got.
the same idiots still thinking the system has anything to do with his awseomness
I voted superstar and he's already there. At just 25, he's not even at his ceiling yet and has improved exponentially to this point. Upside: unknown
way off.
I never thought he would be this good, I don't think most non-homers did, tbh..I don't think there are many examples in NBA history of a player that has improved as much as he has..
Is he a better offensive player than Klaynus Thompson though?
Improvement rate continues and he can be best player in NBA.
As far as the "he only got to 2nd Round last year" phuck the off.
He had two absolute highlight reel plays in what should have been a game 4 victory and 3-1 lead.
Steal and dunk.
Not Kwa's fault he was surrounded by incompetence.
we'all have to wait and see
As of Feb,7th 2017
If he keeps this rate of development into his peak in 2/3 years, "NBA= d"..
just lol
