I didn't realize he was so young. Maybe his skills will develop, but right now almost everything he does offensively is predicated on Parker getting him looks

I'm not as impressed with him as many on here. He's great defensively and rebounding, but he can't really create offensively. I don't ever see him as a star in the NBA


Idk man. Awesome defense and plays his arse off. Can shoot from 3 an seems to be able to finish when he gets to the rim. I doubt he's pumped about driving all the time when he's got 2 guys who dominate the ball so much and an all time great in Timmy. I think he'll get more aggressive as his career unfolds.

I thought he was driving a good bit and creating his own shots?

He just doesn't look like a fluid athlete to me when he tries to drive in iso situations.

He was getting by Lebron at will. He needs to develop a midrange game though. He's still raw but he's far from reaching his peak.

I mean if he ended up iso'd on Miller or Ray Allen he'd go at them and finish strong, but there's a big difference between creating in a situation like that and being a team's #1 option. I'm not down on him or anything. He's a very, very good player like somebody else said who every team would love to have. I just think the super star talk is a little excessive

Yeah, he's not very fluid. Dude plays big as hell though. Can't think of a good comparison. He's a unique player for sure.

They're not asking him to be a #1(or even #2-3) option yet. Maybe they never will, but he definitely has the potential.

I saw someone say something about Shawn Marion. I didn't get to see Marion in his younger years, but that sounds like a pretty good comparison.

Jamison is a pretty good comparison actually. Leonard is probably more athletic but Jamison was a more polished scorer. I can see him being a better version of Jamison.

I used to like watching Jamison play. Guy could score with the most unusual angles/off the wall shots

He's going to do big things, but like Duncan, you usually won't hear much about it. I like the way he handles business.
