Kawhi Leonard - sleeper/keeper??

I got a feeling Leonard could break out this season, despite Popovich's deep rotation. I'm in a keeper league with ability to draft Leonard around 96 pick. I think this drafting spot would be a steal for him. I think he has ability to be a dynamic wing player - put up points, elite rebounder for wing - steal/blocks - and 3's. Any other fellow fans of Leonard?

Kawhi is a solid sleeper but he has to prove himself with full starter mins to call him a keeper. His Per 36 mins #'s: 12 PPG 8 RPG 2 APG 1 BPG 2 SPG

He's a great deal at 96 IMO. I have him ranked almost two rounds higher than that for 9 cat play.

I think he definitely has the talent to be a steal, but I'm not sure if he's going to enough of a chance in San Antonio this year. They have a ton of options on the wing and he's still their 4th scoring option at best, so he might not rack up enough minutes/usage stats to be a stud this year. However, I'd definitely grab him in a keeper and he might play more than I think (Pop does seem to love the guy).

Pop loves Leonard. Leonard is a star right now. He'll get his minutes. Absolute steal. For fantasy purposes Leonard is that prime Battier/Tayshaun Prince type of glue guy. Top 50-60 value, never misses a game, doesn't turn the ball over. Low-key dominates 9-cat roto leagues.
