Quote:He is a good defender, but he didn't place in the top 3 for DPOY the last 2 years while Leonard won it both years. Sorry, but I hardly call that "every bit a good of a defender as Leonard".

 

Leonard is probably the best defender in the league, but you are moving the goalpost now. You originally said

 

Quote:I am calling Kawhi a top 3 player based on his presence on both ends of the floor. DPOY 2 years in a row and is now a serious offensive threat.

 

Durant, Westbrook, Lowry, and George are not great defenders. All great offensive players though.

 

 

You literally said that George isn't a great defender. He absolutely is a great defender. He is one of the best defenders in the league, even if he isn't as good as Leonard.

 

He is one of the best offensive and defensive players in the league. Maybe not as good as Leonard defensively, but better offensively and certainly still one of the league's best defenders.
