Leonard.
I know I have been "MIA" for quite some time & I'm famously known for the thread "the new guy in town" but I was very disappointed by our playoff performance including the lockout but I wa curious as to what you guys thought about the comparison & who you think is better or will be. Our newly signed Kawai Leonard or the Indiana Pacers Paul George??? Answer away
Leonard.
Probably George since he would be more suited to the Spurs system. Better lateral quickness and 3 point shooting.. maybe a better finisher at the rim and more athletic.
Leonard is more skilled around the rim and from 18 feet in. Better rebounder and stronger.
Its hard to say though.

Can't say until Leonard's played a game in the NBA.
Leonard's skill set-He can handle the ball, create shots for others with his very underrated passing, rebound like a beast, he can defend as well and is pretty athletic, he also has a good post game. His weakness is shooting, he'd create his own shot only to miss it due to his poor shooting, it can be fixed though.
Don't really know that much about George.
Let's be optimistic and loyal, and just say the guy that's in silver and black
dont know about everyone else but im excited to see anderson & leonard when ever we have season. maybe even see butler play.
did paul do anything in the bulls series?
No, he was saving it for the Iowa straw poll.
He was guarding rose the whole time, wore him out.

you're kidding? Paul George by several international nautical miles
Hard to compare two players with completely different skill sets, but I'll say George. Leonard definitely has some positives, but he's essentially a 4 in a 2/3 body. George is a 2/3 in a 2/3 body (although he's still weak), so he doesn't have to project adding skills in order to play his natural position: he just has to improve on his current skill set.
, since George tore it up last season...
Good take..Only reason I would take George is because I know what to expect from him since his skill set is so black and white. Leonard seems to have that boom or bust feeling heading into his NBA career. Not going to predict which I expect until I actually see the kid play in the NBA.
I couldn't say until I've seen both play in the NBA. Paul George definitely has the hops and length over Leonard. But Leonard's impressive rebounding rate as a 3 is very promising.
Kawai
Did an AMAZING job guarding Derrick Rose.
the man hasn't even played a game yet lol..
i would be insulted by this thread if i were paul george
now can I have my question answered? Or do I have to wait until after Saturdays game?
who's "Kawai"?
so now can I get some answers?
I would still trade Leonard for George. I love both, but George still seems to be a better prospect. Better athlete, better shooter, better all-around.

i take KL
george has fallen in love with the jumpshot, he didnt do anything offensively in the playoffs last season besides jackin up shots.....he needs to beat his man off the dribble and attack the rim like how durant does it sometimes using his length to beat players, but in this case of george, i have yet seen him do it
George looks really good, and I'm not trying to take anything away from him. But I like Kawhi. He looked great last season despite the lockout, no training camp, condensed and abbreviated season and a role that included some training wheels. Once the training wheels come off, and Pop lets him have some more freedom in the system, I think Kawhi could be something quite special for this team. He looks like the real deal.
