When Clippers coach Doc Rivers watches Kawhi Leonard, he sees hallmarks of other prolific scorers he has coached. Kawhi has that ability.”But the Clippers forward also possessed something unique that Rivers first noticed during practice. “I’ve never seen a guy when he gets to his shot it’s straight up and down and it’s perfect balance,” Rivers said. “He’s playing as well as anyone in the league right now, and he’s doing it all around; it’s not just scoring,” Rivers said. To the Clippers, it is no coincidence that Leonard’s run has coincided with more practice time and a healthier lineup.
