Kawhi Leonard is officially a top 5 player in the NBA

[SharkAA]

Since Spurs are playing differently than any other NBA team, it's very hard to compare, where Kawhi Leonard belongs.
Obviously, I'd take him at #1 as a best defender among SF's over Butler, James, Tucker, Allen and Iggy.
As far as scoring goes, if you trade him to any other team, on which, he'll have more FGA and more % of the time ball in his hands, you could see his real effect, as far as scoring goes. Otherwise, it's hard to compare.

Davis
Lebron
Harden
Durant
Westbrook
Aldridge
Wall
Gasol
Curry

he probably is around 10th yeh

You're really comparing a SF to all those players listed, who play different roles, from PG-C? You can do better than that, this is as fake as it gets.

Let's see what San Antonio does this playoff season and then will really get an accurate assessment of this guy

I agree.

[existential]

i'd much rather have Jimmy Butler. that's a guy who has the potential to be a real top 5 guy in the league.

Leonard is a great defender, but is really careless on offense and lacks leadership for top 5 material.

This guy does it all.

Awesome player, but definitely not top-5. I'd say it's arguable between him and Jimmy Butler who's better. I'd rank Curry, LeBron, Durant, CP3, Harden, and Anthony Davis above him. Definitely top-10 though.

You guys are nuts if you think Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler are on the same level.

Leonard > Butler.

Not close.

Butler is a very good player but yea I like Leonard better.

[The Giant]

Jimmy Butler is very good. No argument there.
