This article is part of our Hoops Lab series.

TYT Sports asked Andre Snellings, Doctorate of Basketball Studies, to dive deeper into the "Kawhi Leonard is so good at defense he makes the Spurs bad at defense because he is so good at defense" debate. Snellings uses impact stats, and comparisons to other wings in the league, to make a case in regards to Leonard's supreme defensive ability.
