Scottie Barnes Can Be Better Than Kawhi Leonard, Says Sam Mitchell

"He’s a better ball handler and facilitator. He’s a better defender. He can guard all 5 positions," said Mitchell. Kawhi isn't in his prime defensively, especially with him recovering from his knee injuries. But the statement flat-out might be a bit absurd even in 2025. "Only thing Kawhi got on Scottie right now, he’s a better 3 point shooter."
