#4 – Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard is a long range jumpshot away from being dominant. He’s on that coin called potential. If a team is willing to invest the time to work on his jumper, then he’s a gamble worth taking. This past season, he shot only 29% from three-point land, the college one.
His athleticism and speed translates into being a great rebounder, good steals numbers and playmaking ability (assists). Still not convinced? Ponder the stats below and press play!

Out of 138 players:
· Kawhi would be a first round pick in 3 of the 4 metrics, but even then his defense is not bad.
· What is pushing him into the 20’s is his offensive inefficiency, which is symptomatic of the lack of a good jumpshot.
· If a team is up for the work it would take, he could go lottery.
· Considered as a whole (BPM), as well as for each specialty (PCM for Production; DIR for Defense; and TPA (Talent/Skill-set).
