#11. Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers #3 Small Forwards
12 Oct
2019

Pre-2019-20 Rank: #13, Pre-2020-21 Rank: #11, Pre-2021-22 Rank: #10, Pre-2022-23 Rank: #11, Pre-2023-24 Rank: #11.

*Peak Period: 2013-14 to 2020-21.  Leonard only played 9 Games in 2017-18.  Thus, we are giving him eight seasons.

Leonard won two NBA Championships with two different teams (San Antonio & Toronto) and was the MVP in both Finals.  That fact alone makes him a Hall of Famer in many eyes.  Following his one-and-done in Toronto, Leonard has given the Clippers three All-Star years, but the moody Forward has also missed an entire season (2021-22 due to an ACL injury), and begins this year on the shelf. 

Leonard, who has the 75th Anniversary Selection should get in easily, but we openly wonder how much his legacy will take a tumble (if at all) over the next few years.
