    He was also 19 and was in a brand new country.

    I also don't think Leonard needs to put on any more weight. He probably shouldn't actively try to.

    Lillard's making us lose. He makes himself the first option every time down. He beelines to the hoop, is defended, pitches it out, and the recipient misses the shot. If Canales would put him in his place we'd be back in this.

    Running pick and rolls with Aldridge will be a lot easier than running them with Leonard

    Teams won't exactly leave Aldridge to stop Lillard like they are now

    I think if you left names off of uniforms, he looked like just another guy.

    Presumably he'll get better. :)

    Given his frame, and his age, he looks like a guy who will probably gain 20 pounds just by reaching physical maturity.

    I'll start to worry when he's challenging Dexter Pittman's girth.

    Bolded is pretty much what I meant by not actively trying to gain weight. He probably will lose mobility if he adds 20+ pounds.

    He's quicker and more athletic than Robinson was at that age.

    I have a feeling Leonard will be in early foul trouble come the regular season

    Can we call Leonard "honey badger"? Cause he just doesn't seem to give a shit when he fouls.
