    Kawhi. Stephenson would struggle outside the Pacers system

    Stephenson is a pretty good player but I would no doubt take Kawhi Leonard.

    I think it would be easier to build around Kawhi and think he has more more room to get better.

    Lance hasn't proven himself in the playoffs yet, let alone the Finals.

    Kawhi is legit, under Coach Pop he'll flourish as a star.

    Pray tell, how did the Spurs win a championship one year into the so-called system (and a shortened strike season at that)? DRob and the veterans like Sean Elliot and Mario Elie were scrubs benefitting from a system? Duncan wasn't one of the best college players ever and wouldn't have been #1 draft pick for another team?

    If anything, Leonard is being held back BECAUSE OF the system. He should be playing 35+ minutes per game so he can develop instead of sitting on the bench for 8 minutes while Pop fiddles with his endless line-ups. A 22 year old doesn't need to be saved or preserved for the playoffs - 27 minutes is too little - he's playing less than a soon to be 38 year old Duncan.

    Stephenson 2014 Regular Season
    14.3 pts / 7.4 rebs / 5.1 asst / 0.7 stls / 0.1 blks / 2.7 tov 50.2%FG 35.7 mins

    Leonard 2014 Regular Season
    11.7 pts / 5.7 reb / 1.8 asst / 1.7 stls / 0.5 blks / 1.2 tov 50%FG 27.7 mins

    Leonard per 36 mins
    14.7 pts / 7.7 rebs / 2.3 asst / 2.1 stls / 0.7 blks / 1.5 tov

    Seems identical to me (per 36 mins) except more assists for Lance and more steals/less turnovers for Leonard. Now for the playoffs against much better competition

    Leonard 2013 Playoffs
    13.5 pts / 9 rebs / 1 asst / 1.8 stl / 0.5 blks / 1.1 tov 54.5%FG 36.9 mins

    Pop needs to be play Leonard more. I'm taking him over Lance 10/10 times. He's a better player, and I doubt Lance would succeed on the Knicks.

    Stephenson. Much more versatile player. Leonard is pretty overrated on this forum.

    On my team ? Leonard. Were pretty good at SG and lacking size at SF, he would be a fine player for the Raptors. Don't know whether he would start or come off the bench, though. Ross has a done a good job starting too.

    People forgetting the missed game 6 free throws that could have clinched the championship.

    Spurs only lost 2 games throughout the whole playoffs and had the best record in the league. They even swept the Blazers who were better than every team in the East that year, as well as a Laker squad with prime Shaq accompanied by an already really good Kobe and a still really good Glen Rice. No team even threatened Spurs in the playoffs that year.
