Kawhi Leonard already the 4th best SF

[steve franchise]

It's not overrated when you have players who work hard. Leonard is already a much better defender than Parsons who has regressed this year. But If I had to chose between the two I would still take Parsons bc his overall game. It is worth noting their age difference too.

No. Potential is still overrated regardless of work ethic.

[unbreakable]

Parsons hasnt played defense since the 3rd grade

You have no idea what you're talking about. He is an above defender and was even better last year.

Solid argument, way to rep Houston's fan-base.

[Element]

Nope

CLEARLY better:

LeBron
KD
Melo
Pierce
Deng
George
Parsons
Batum

Your initial "argument" was garbage in the first place. A counter-argument wasn't needed.

Incorrect bc my argument was that potential has significant meaning. You're argument about potential being overrated is fundamentally flawed. Most of the top players are drafted in the first round based off potential. So clearly potential is not overrated.

I really don't understand where this argument comes from.

Leonard: (31.2 mpg) (ppg 11.9) (rpg 6) (fg%494%) (3p% 374) (FT% 825)
Parsons: (mpg 36.3) (ppg 15.5) (rpg 5.3) (fg% 486%) (3p% 385%) (ft 729%)

Leornard is a MUCH better defender, and three years younger.

You're intentionally leaving out assist but I agree to an extent.

Worthless response.

Now you're changing your argument. Your initial argument was silly.

Evasion.

Evasion.

It was.

Kawhi doesn't get to hold the ball as much as Parsons so it's hard to compare them in that respect.

[andremiller07]

Gallo and Batum on top of the some of the guys already said imo are also better at this point in time.

[retaxis]

Bron
Melo
KD
George
Gay
Granger
Pierce
Barnes
MKG


All are better than Leonard

scrub out barnes and MKG and add Igoudala, Gallanari, Chandler, Josh Smith etc

He still has not displayed the same skill-set as Parsons.
