So how good can Kawhi Leonard become going forward?

He

[Milbuck]

Top 5 player in 4-5 years. 24/8/5/3/1 with GOAT caliber perimeter defense.

[Magic731]

Kawhi Leonard may very well have won finals mvp last season had it not been for one Ray Allen three. Everyone was singing his praises then and talking him up for the future, yet he went on to average something like 13/6. It's great that this dude stands up when it matters most but he's gotta become more consistent throughout the regular season especially as he grows into a bigger role when Duncan/Parker/Ginobili decide to hang them up.

I think Spurs depth had alot to do with those numbers. He didn

1/2 > 2/5

[Mr. Jabbar]

top 3 player in the league.

would be a dream to pair him with lillard

[Real14]

Better than lebron.

[masonanddixon]

4th best player on a championship/4th option.

His ceiling would be Andre Igudola level.

He's become extremely overrated here for having one good series (much like everyone does who guards/is guarded by Lebron).

[Adrenalynn]

If he stays in SA for years then he'll be in their BIG 3, if he leaves then he'll just be a rich man's Mickael Pietrus without POP.

He just won a fu[COLOR="Black"]c[/COLOR]king Finals MVP like 6 hours ago at 22 years old and now his ceiling is being a 4th option?

You're officially BANNED for excessive trolling.

[SCdac]

He had a broken finger or something like that midseason, and it hurt his stats and momentum. But when he came back, the Spurs went on a 19 game win streak. Really, the defense from him and Duncan combined makes the Spurs lethal. The real test for Kawhi will be on Spurs teams without Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili, which may or may not be around the corner.

[Cocaine80s]

switch him with PG on the pacers and we'll see how good he really is

Thats what he currently is--a 4th option---he's a system player. No shame in that. Put him on a team in which he is depended on a nightly basis to create his own shot and create for others and he will be exposed.

Thats why his ceiling is Andre Iguodola. Can hit open shots and play within a system but isn't a dynamic enough player on his own. You make it seem like it was an insult.

Spurs are basically a Big 3 surrounded by system players and Leonard is the best of those system guys. It's not like you can just put the dude on the floor with 4 bench players (not including Ginobli) and expect to win big games.

[Adam Silver]

Kawhi is a very deserving Finals MVP and has a bright future ahead of him.
