Kawhi Leonard : best 1-on-1 player in nba ?

1er-Post up : 1.2 PPP 58% in FG%

No. He doesn't command double teams and gameplanning.

That picture sums it up. He gets covered by guys like Mario Chalmers

This.
And never gets doubled either.

I'll tell you one thing, on offense, dude has not been unleashed yet.

He's got a solid set of moves, good court vision, can score from all over the court, and is as mobile and athletic as any player in the league. He's still young though and makes mistakes here and there.

He could be putting up 17-20 ppg on worse teams, probably a dip in FG%, but he could do it. Especially on a team that runs (Houston, Golden State, etc) and takes tons of threes

Spurs are on a 15 game win streak since he came back from injury. Averaging 14 ppg (.52 FG%) / 7 rpg / 2 apg / 2 spg / 1.5 bpg / 1.4 threes made

These stats prove that advanced stats without context are useless. Looking at those stats one would think that Leonard is the best 1 on 1 player. In reality, he s not even top 20.

[Jailblazers7]

His iso numbers are great because he only gets isos whenever he has a mismatch.

I thought this was going to be more about his defense because in a one on one situation, I'm not sure there's a more terrifying defender in the league than Leonard.

KD easily. Hes unguardable now imagine him w/ no triples, doubles, trapping, shading, help etc to worry bout forget bout it

[Joyner82reload]

Durant

1.12 Points per possession in ISO #3 in the league
1.08 Points per possession post ups #7 in the league

Opponents are shooting 25.7% against him in Isolation

MIAMI -- LeBron James says no one can guard Kevin Durant without help.

"Individually, he can't be stopped by any one-on-one player," James said. "There's nobody that can guard him one-on-one."

[imdaman99]

Pop will not unleash him, he wants him to play high IQ on offense. I doubt the Spurs run many ISO plays that aren't broken or don't automatically force Pop to call timeout to yell at iso guy

You fools need to go back to grade school.

Oh, you're Heat fans. Carry on.

-Efficiency decreases as USG% increases

-Kawhi has a really low USG%

Durant 32.8

LeBron 30.5

Parker 26.8

Kawhi 18.0

That said, Kawhi is playing at a high level. He is the key for the Spurs.
