Clippers 2022-2023 Season Preview: Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard is the player of the season for the Clippers in 2022-2023.

Kawhi Leonard spent last season recovering from an ACL tear. He is expected to be back to his best soon. The Clippers are one of the favorites to win a championship. They have a deep team and can afford to rest Leonard.

Leonard is one of the most gifted offensive players in the NBA. He has very strong handles for a player of his size. Since joining the Clippers, he's improved his playmaking. His midrange game is very good and he is a good three-point shooter. Leonard's combination of strength and quickness allows him to guard multiple positions. He's been asked to be more of a playmaker with the team not having a true point guard.

Kawhi Leonard hasn't been the most durable player for the Clippers in recent years. He missed all of the 2022 season and substantial chunks of two years prior.

Kawhi Leonard is one of the best players in the NBA. He elevates his game in playoffs each year. Leonard will have to lead the Clippers to a title this season.
