Not a superstar but a 2nd option maybe a lesser version of Paul George maybe Evan Turner type player
Best Player in the NBA
Superstar
All-star
Good Role player
Watching him today, and the few times where he runs the pick and roll, he really has all the necessary tools to become a superstar one day, IMO.

Kawhi is already a better player than turner
No your biased look at Tuners all around stats ... 14 , 7 and 5 ...
ceiling? multiple all star selections but probably not a perennial all star.
14, 7 5 on a team..The guy is a chucker too. Kawhi > Turner
Turner's got good offensive stats but Kawhi far better than him on D.
It's not his fault Bynum won't play . 76ers aren;t bad
A less athletic Latrell sprewell with better defense, rebounding, and 3 point shooting.
If he's any good he'll be a Laker when his contract is up, tbh...
^
He doesn't seem like he cares about the glitz and glamour and I think Spurs will be able to pay him handsomely in coming years... I hope
Basement for Leonard as he grows - Shawn Marion.
Ceiling - Scottie Pippen?!
Already has better handles and jumper than Matrix tbh.
I could see him someday as a 17-20 ppg, 8 rpg, with ~1.5 blocks and 4 steals per game defensive monster. Really at this point, it's how much effort Kawhi himself puts in. He has a fantastic feel for the game and reacts on defense extremely quickly. He also has much better handles than he's given credit for, although he still needs to improve those as well.
His ceiling is pretty damn high. The trade for George Hill looks more and more genius every day.
i know some of this is just trolling, but some of this is legit bull
lol only his 2nd 20 point game of his career, and suddenly he has a basement of shawn marion, and has a superstar ceiling?
you dont even watch the guy play
Agree that's pretty ridiculous. I think what I posted is his absolute max. Marion as a floor is kind of weird, they aren't the same kind of players at all.
The fact that he's so good on D means he's definitely going to be in the NBA for the next decade+ though, so he has a lot of time to improve from where he's at now.
ive seen enough of him to know he isn't superstar material
I think he certainly has a place in the NBA, and will consistently be a solid role player, but that's about it. Nothing wrong with that though. I'd say more of a Shane Battier, Tony Allen type of player. Mostly defense, capable of putting up some points when his team needs him to, but not necessarily a scorer.
oh, and 4 steals a game? that is quite a max... not sure anyone has even averaged 3 a game that i can recall
He's also averaging 8 more minutes a game and has taken ~400 more shots than Kawhi this season.
Kawhi's limited role is by design, and in large part due to the fact that he plays on a really good team with some really good players. Going by Kawhi's stats in comparison to other great young players will only give you a distorted picture of how he compares with them.
Solid starter and best perim defender on a championship team imo, still havn't seen enough star material on O to convince me he's gonna have multiple all-star selections like some of your are spewing 'bout lol
