Leonard doesn't flash triple-double upside, but performances like his Game 2 against Memphis show why he's one of the league's best.
It's unfair to say that people doubted Kawhi Leonard entering the NBA back in 2011.
Whether it was the eye test (Leonard "does not have one aspect offensively that stands out or which allows him to consistently score the ball") or the numbers (just 0.889 points per possession and the worst effective field goal percentage in the class among 17 wings studied), Leonard still had a way to go, yet it seemed evident that his ceiling was high if he could put it all together.
