The Top 5 Fantasy Basketball Assets So Far This Season

5. Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs

With an 8.42 fantasy rating, Kawhi Leonard is extremely solid across the board. He's among the top fantasy players in points, steals, free throw percentage, and three-point makes. All the while, he avoids hurting your squad in any meaningful way. Leonard is a slight negative in turnovers, blocks, and field goal percentage, but his lowest figure is -0.57 in turnovers.

The positives clearly outweigh the negatives for the San Antonio forward as he continues to polish his offensive game. With a career-high usage rate (32.1%), Leonard is the number-one option for the Spurs. He'll continue to act as such going forward, and I'd expect him to keep up -- if not improve upon -- the pace he's set early on this season.
