The Kaman vs Leonard Tracker thread

[Scalma]

Post footwork. His is well below average.

That can be taught.

The more relevant question here should be why couldn't Leonard become a gasol type offensively? What tool does he not have?

Nards has a better chance to be a less mobile version of Lamar Odom, than he has a chance to be like Gasol.(And I'm being generous.)
Wanting to compare him to a player is one thing. But Nards isn't even half the player Gasol is/was....
A better comparison would be Nards has a good chance of becoming Raef LaFrentz type player. Solid NBA rotational player, who could start and fill a role if needed.(15+year career)
Maybe even a little better than LaFrentz... Nards certainly has the athletic ability.


Gasol came into the NBA and averaged 17+ points 8+ rebounds 2 blocks 2 assists 2 turnovers AND only 2.4 fouls per game.
Gasol understood the NBA game from a big man's point of view from day 1.
He's been taken for granted his entire career. Until now.. When one can say he's having the best year of his career though 51 games.
One could argue that he has been the best player on the team... his entire career. Except with Spain where one can make a case for his brother.
(That's coming from someone who isn't a blind Kobe hater. Well.. Unless he's vs the Blazers.. Then I hate Kobe.)
