Kawhi Leonard - Advanced Stats Comparison

[Spursfanfromafar]

Kawhi's play should have got what he deserved - a championship win, but it didn't happen. Still, his play is the biggest ray of hope for the Spurs' future.

How do Kawhi's first two seasons rate with similar players - Defense first small forwards with some degree of involvement in offense as secondary options? I did a quick player comparison with the following players - Paul George, Shawn Marion, Danny Granger, Nicolas Batum, Josh Smith, Chandler Parsons in their first two years in the league. Advanced Stats provide the best comparison. Here's the result from Bball-reference -

I feel like Leonard could have quite a similar career to Marion.
