Good no doubt, but top 15?
Philip clearly went to the bottle after we helped their playoff chances
Lebron
Durant
Griffin
Harden
Davis
Love
Howard
Duncan
Melo
George
Parker
Westbrook
Paul
Noah
aldridge
Dirk
That's already 16 names
Kawhi is a top 20 player in the league though so chuck was just off 5 players imo
Kawhi is a top 5 SF in the league though and only a dumbass would disagree
Sean Marks was definitely a superstar in his day.
Kawhi is argubly just as important as parker and duncan in the best team in the league
The gap between George and Kiwi is not as big as people are led to perceive. George has been heralded for his defense, but Kiwi is probably the better defender. When it comes to offense, George's fluky shooting the first 2 months has faded and he looks remedial out there. Combine that with the fact that one is helping lead his team to the best record shows how much propping up by the media really changes perceptions.
Not top 15, but top 20 seems right. He's been growing by leaps and bounds since his return.
Close, but not quite. Give it time.
I've been one of the 3 biggest Kawhi -riders on ST, but he's not a top 15 player, tbh..
Top 25-30, off the top of my head..and no, I don't think he has surpassed Parker and Duncan yet, although he's getting close..
Top 5 SF after James, Durant, George, Anthony...tbh.
im glad everyone agrees b/c that sounded a lil overrated to me
He's becoming a very unique player, though..
Defensively, while he's overrated, his versatility and ability to disrupt is outstanding..generally speaking, defensive specialists seldom possess the ability to create their own offense..super role players like Noah and Ibaka are limited at creating their own shots, which isn't the case for Leonard, as he continues to show every game..
It's evident that he has the potential to be much, much more than just a role player, though, which wasn't conceivable to many Spurs fans, tbh..
these are not better than kawhi due to their one sidedness(sans Davis)
I'd take him over Fatmelo. A few months ago I'd agree about George but I'm starting to have doubts. Leonard may be the third best SF in the league.
Davis is a beast on both sides of the ball.
I'm probably the biggest kawhi fan in ST but top 3?
c'mon bro
Paul George would look great if he had the weapons the Spurs have next to Leonard, though..
The Pacers only have 1 other player that can consistently create a shot(West, and he's getting old), a cancer at SG and a PG that can't dribble a basketball..I don't think Leonard could thrive with Indiana's lack of offensive talent..
who has not yet played a meaningful game in his career.
Davis is better than Kawhi at this point. Don't really see how you could make a convincing argument otherwise
Whose better tbh? It can be argued Fatmelo, PG, Parsons, and Pierce are better, but only PG impacts the game on both ends to the extent Leonard can.I'm probably the biggest kawhi fan in ST but top 3?
c'mon bro
Fatmelo and PG are still better
Parson and Pierce, no
Kawhi has top 15 talent, but he has yet to put up top 15 numbers. Given the Spurs system and depth of talent, I don't see him putting up top 15 numbers until at least Duncan retires.
stupid homer
Kawhi plays for the best team in the league and is far more valuable for his teamstupid homer
