[QUOTE="RIVERCITYCHIEF, post: 1522993, member: 677672"] I was watching San Diego State the other night when Kawhi was being honored. They stated that when he initially enrolled at San Diego he was a 23% 3 point shooter and today he is a 39% 3 point shooter from the NBA range and improved his shooting while at San Diego and worked his way into the first round. I thought of Whitney when i heard this about Kawhi's history. IMO that is what KW should attempt to dd. It is certainly his choice.Going to the G League is an option but is it the best one for a teen aged kid? If he did transfer in the long run he could do better for himself on both fronts. Either way their is not going to be some easy path to a bunch of money for a 6'6'' wing that struggles to shoot. So many of these young players think they are better than they really are because of weak defenses they have faced and all the the people telling them how great they are. I think working hard and following the path that Kawhi may be the best for him. If he has all this potential then learning how to shoot and develop in college to be a future 1st round pick like Kawhi is what he should do. In the end if he could do the the money would be much better and if not he would have a degree. Plus who knows maybe they will change the sit a year transfer rule i heard last night that is being purposed now by the B10 to the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
