Basketball experts...is Kawhi Leonard a top 5 player in the NBA?

[Remote]

Generally people talk about the top 3 or 4 guys...Durant, Curry, Lebron, Westbrook...in whatever order they so please.

But who rounds out the Top 5?

 

[Ohene]

I'd give Leonard that number 5. Some will say George and Anthony Davis though

 

[Mandizi]

Nah, I got Bron, KD, Curry, Westbrook, and George over him.

 

[The War Report]

George

:bronwtf:

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I say AD 5th Kawhi 6th

 

[Illuminatos]

Yeah, but I think there's a decent sized gap between him and the top 4 though.

Bron
Curry
Durant
Westbrook






Kawhi

Sabo
Stickman
Cousins

[charmander]

nope

might not even be top 10

 

[DarrynCobretti]

Nah, he's not in that tier yet.
He's on the cusp of being in that group though - so he's definitely easily among the top 10 best overall players in the world though.

 

[Basaglia]

no

 

[JameisNewton]

Kawhi can't carry a team.

 

[360Waves]

As far as I'm concerned the Top 5 is reserved for guys who're legitimate franchise players and can carry a team/take over a game. Kawhi is none of those things. A great player who has been massively overrated by this stats-turbation era of analytical geeks.

 

[Primetime21]

All we've heard with AD so far is what he could be or what he's going to be. Kawhi has done it, so I've got to put him in the top 5.
