    Watching the San Diego State, Byu game on CBS. Whats everyone think of this kid? Looks like a very good athlete, good rebounder and good size. Needs to improve his shooting but where do you see him going in the draft and what teams would be best for him?

    I really like him as a player. I just hope he continues to work on his range and handle. Right now in the league, his skillset would be a combo forward and he doesn’t have the size for the 4 in the NBA. I mean I see some Gerald Wallace in him. Though he is probably better now than Wallace was at the same age. If he can get a 3 point shot, I could see him like a Paul Pierce as well. These are obviously best case scenarios for Leonard. He could end up like Thaddeus Young or maybe worse. I think he could fit in well in Charlotte or Detroit.

    His play reminds me a lot of Dominic Mcguire’s last season at Fresno, Leonard though definitely has a better offensive skill set.

    I know its just a comparison…but i dont think hes going to be a Gerald Wallace in the NBA…i see more of Damion James or Joey Graham.

    At Worst: Stanley Robinson

    Very good comparison ghettosermon. Leonard is more aggressive and plays stronger and looks to be a better finisher, which is a major difference and makes Leonard a better prospect. Also I think Leonard makes a few fewer mistakes with the ball, McGuire even in the NBA will make tenative plays or make plays that make you scratch your head, Leonard’s cut out a lot of that in his game.
