Kawhi Leonard
During the regular season, the conversation about who was the league's MVP centred around Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and James Harden of the Houston Rockets. However, while that may be the fact for the regular season, Kawhi Leonard is making a case for himself in these 2019 NBA playoffs.
Should the Raptors win the title, Leonard is likely the main reason and the Finals MVP. His play has been absolutely amazing through these 18 games so far. After missing 22 games this past regular season due to load management to ensure he would be healthy for the 2019 NBA playoffs, Leonard has been almost superhuman in leading the Toronto Raptors to the 2019 NBA Finals.
In the Raptors' 18 playoff games, Leonard has been averaging over 38 minutes per game, 31.2ppg, 8.8rpg, 3.8apg, and 1.6spg. He has been a standout player at both ends of the floor delivering consistent offensive production at one end of the court and lockdown defence at the other.
Leonard is a quality of player never before seen in Toronto. He has won an NBA championship and Finals MVP before with the Spurs and now he has elevated the Raptors to a place they have never been before.
Guess the Lakers players!
