Kawhi Leonard was chosen fifteenth in the 2011 NBA by the Indiana Pacers specifically to be traded (along with draft rights to Erazem Lorbek and David Bertans) for Spurs guard George Hill. In his six (healthy) seasons with the Silver & Black he averaged 16.3 points per game (increasing each and every season and has continued the trend since leaving San Antonio).
In 2014, Leonard took the torch from the Spurs’ Big 3 helping earn the franchise’s fifth title and claiming the Finals MVP for himself.
The following two years Kawhi was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year (while coming in second and third respectively for MVP voting).
