4. Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs
Stats: 21.6 points, 7.7 points, 25.5 PER
The man that does it the best on both ends of the floor, Kawhi Leonard, is also the heart and soul of the San Antonio Spurs right now. Yes, there are bigger names on their roster – heck, even their head coach is more known among casual NBA circles than Leonard.
But the fact is that he’ll soon be a household name, by the end of the season. The Spurs will only go as far as Leonard can take them and if we’ve learned anything through the first few weeks of the NBA season, that’s far.
Leonard doesn’t say much and is pretty much emotionless when he’s on the court. In other words, he’s the perfect fit for the Spurs.
