    Gotta give him credit. How many times has he done it? Forbes, Neal, Simmons, Splitter, etc. There are a bunch of rookies who, if they had been drafted by the Spurs, would've had an NBA carreer. Player development program is 2nd to none. Mute nephew would've never become the player that he is if he was drafted by another franchise.

    Totally agree. But that’s also the disappointment of shortsighted players that Spurs are not bringing in Stars as help, or Stars not getting max contract because of the bigger picture. But that’s another discussion.

    Kawhi would be Chris Singleton or at best Kenneth Faried with most franchises.

    He would have been a taller and more stronger Tony Allen if the Spurs didn't draft him.

    Dedmon. Johnathon Simmons.

    You have to do it to stay under budget and find bargains. Brooklyn has done a great job of bargain hunting with guys like Dinwhiddie and LaVert.

    He was by far my favorite player... Spurs did him wrong, no doubt... Our FO has been doing a lot is silly stuff lately that even us called out.. So has pop... And to add insult to injury they coddled a guy who complained about touches even tho he choked in the playoffs... Then mishandle Kawhi's injury,imoly because they want to give Parker and ginobili one last hoorah at Kawhi's expense... And on top of that, imply to the media that he is faking... After he carried their sorry asses all year long... I'd be ing pissed too

    At least he played and didn't sit out an entire year cause his uncle told him to. And actually went to Pop and talked to him instead of hiding from him in NY and not saying anything. Kawhi

    Lmao. Stop it. Kawhi would be great anywhere. If anything, Pop held him back. Maybe y'all don't remember but Mills used to take twice as many shots as Kawhi back in the day. He'd brick most of them as well. PATFO didn't make Kawhi, this nonsense needs to stop already.

    Held back? WTF, dude. He'd still be a Faried with no jump shot. A nice defender who is a complete nullity on the other end.

    Those tears are real. Get some help before you make a comment like this in public.

    Acting like Leonard would be a role player outside the Spurs system.

    That's like giving credit to OKC for developing Kevin Durant or the Bulls for developing Jimmy Butler or Biogenesis for developing Lebron James.

    Of course they didn't make him. But they put him in the right development program and brought him along step by step to be the player he is today. First and foremost it's his work ethic and his supreme physical ability (hand size, frame, etc.) why he's that good. But PATFO really developed him into the superstar that he is today. Everybody who watched the Spurs knows that.

    I'll bet I've watched the Spurs as much as you, and no we don't know that.

    If PATFO are such wizards at development how come they've only been able to do it once? Why not Kyle Anderson? They sure as heck spent a lot of time and effort with him. Why isn't Patty Mills another Chris Paul after basking so long in the glory of PATFO?

    Are you going to credit PATFO with Duncan, too? Ginobilli? Prime Parker?

    Would all those guys have been no better than bench warmers if not for PATFO?

    Spare me.

    What the Spurs coaches did with Kawhi was exactly the same thing they're supposed to do with every single player they get. Because it's their job. They get paid for what they do, and very well I hope. But no, they don't get a medal for simply doing their jobs.
