Draymond Green vs Kawhi Leonard: Which temperament do you prefer on the Rockets?

still prefer kawhi

 

as the emotional/motivation leader, green no doubt!!!

IMO the reason the spurs were successful is not because of duncan or kawahi's leadership skills, to me neither are true leaders of the team, both great players no doubt, but pop plays that role for the spurs. he really just need great players to do their part in a set system.

now for a team like the rox who have a relatively speaking, less strict coach, someone who believes in the free flow of the team, i would say green is a better suited leader for the team.

 

Even on defense they are very different players.

Kawhi is a good defensive player because he locks up his man.

Green is a good defensive player because he's telling everyone where they should be.

For this Rockets team Greens style would be better.

 

Big picture is Rockets could have had one or both these guys if they had a more competent drafting GM

Rockets picked Mook Morris ahead of Kawhi

Rockets picked 3 players - Jerry Lamb, Royce White and T _ones ahead of Draymond Green. Lamb was used for the Harden trade but still....

Total **** up by Maury

 

This rockets team without a doublt desperately needs a voice and unquestioned personality like DG's. He'll tell it to you like it is and not hold back or doubt it.There's just too many instances where we still question who is houston's leader and nobody really holding each other accountable and then when we do hear about something guys take it too personal. You'll never win that way. every team goes through some type of issues. it's always how you respond to them

 

it's bc DG is basically the villain by default but he would instantly be a favorite here if he had on a houston jersey. People are kidding themselves if they didn't love his all around intangibles that he brings

 

oh ok. so you don't want beverley

 

We need a player that isn't scared of going after Harden's soft ass.

Which means that will never happen without James Harden's approval LMAO!!!

 

Draymond easily. We need someone to hold Harden accountable and not be afraid to call him out. For example when Harden doesn't get back on defense or things like that.

I remember once Steph drove to the rim and didn't get a call, so he was frustrated and laid on the ground for a second while play resumed. Draymond screamed at him to get back demonstrably. I thought to myself "that's exactly the type of guy we need on the Rockets."

 

kawhi isn't even the primary leader of the spurs. Pop is as far as voice and direction. which basically makes kawhi, who now understands what is asked of him, someone others may follow just by example as stated

 

Kawhi plus a little emotion would be right but Draymond is a very special player, a biotch but still very good.

We probably need some enforcers.

 

Green is the biggest ******* in a team of talented Betas. If that counts as a leader, Steph and Durant are cool with that. They're also cool with their post-game responses when Donkey gets ejected.

Kawhi is silent but deadly. He's been more animated during playoffs, but you definitely can see that the man just wants to compete.

 

Remember this thread is about leadership styles, not Green per se.

We need someone unafraid to call people out on their bullshit. I think CP3 has that simiar 'authoritarian' leadership style.
I much prefer that to Kawhi's passive style. Remember the spurs have the ultimate fiery leader in pop, he's the real force on that team

 

There is no scenario where I take Donkey or a player with his b****ass mentality.
