I'm going to shamelessly steal someone else's comment and start calling him Kathigh Leonard.

have his quads always been this big or did he work on strengthening them so much in rehab that they've gotten bigger in the past year?

Back when we still had the chance to make the playoffs and Kawhi was just starting to get back in the Clippers facility, there was a pick posted of his legs. His quads were in phenomenal shape. No doubt in my mind that he would have been back to play in the playoffs had we advanced past the play-ins.

Now, he has just had several more months to work on them.

Expected but nice to finally have it confirmed.

I hope Law Murray is right and that he’ll play a few preseason games.

Looks more suitable for PF to me. A bit slower but stronger forwards for this new NBA(Tatum-Wiggins-H.Barnes-Harris-Siakam) is the new 4.

Interesting. We have no 4. Marcus is supposedly our PF but he rebounds only a little better than Reggie.

Does PF even exist anymore? Who are the best PFs in the league? The Karl Malone days are gone, where you can just park inside the line and make a decent living.

A lot of PF's play half or more of the minutes at C now, or are just a big SF or start at C and that big SF plays the other forward position that's not SF.

KAT is going to be a PF this season though, I'm excited to see that one.

To your question though, Giannis, Zion when he plays again, Mobley in Cleveland, AD, Randle, Draymond and I believe the rookie Banchero is one. Obviously there are some more that aren't just SF's playing the 4 for spacing, but that's all I can think of.

Exactly. I put Reggie up as an absurd example [3.6 rpg last year]

We have no 4. Marcus is supposedly our PF but he rebounds only a little better than Reggie.



but John Wall has averaged 4.3 rpg in his career, Marcus Morris 4.6.

PF is the new FB ;-)

Giannis is the only one I'd give you anything of value for. Of course I'd take Draymond but GSW won't even give him a contract. Zion and AD are walking time bombs. The Lakers dumped Randle and the Knicks have no buyers.



and I don't know who Mobley and Banchero are lol so I think we agree

Like the often used quote from a thousand horror and actions movies right before sh*t is about to hit the fan:

"I gotta bad feeling about this"
