Small Forwards

1. Kawhi Leonard

Stats: 26 points, 5 rebounds

Game after game. Season after season. The 25-year old Leonard continues to mature, continues to inspire, and continues to develop at least a part of his game any way possible. This season, it appears to be in the form of scoring (averaging 25.6 PPG) as well as getting his teammates more involved (3.1 APG).

For a Spurs’ team that’s starting to see the deterioration of point guard Tony Parker and wing Manu Ginobli, Leonard stands as the unquestioned star and possibly the best two-way player in the game today.
