    Leonard's nickname has to be Fred.

    I like "the Omen" for Damian, although as long as no one calls him D-lill, life will be ok.

    I think it's worse than that. IIRC Meyers said that the guy was a star football player from the other school brought in specifically to guard Meyers. ... and then was promptly dunked over and teabagged.

    Blazers’ Leonard Ready to Compete for Starting Job: Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard, the eleventh overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, couldn’t be happier. While most rookies will start their career on the bench, Leonard will have the opportunity to compete for the Portland Trail Blazers’ starting center job. Portland drafted Leonard because of their hole at the five, and now Leonard is looking forward to proving that he can be a contributor from day one.

    “This is a great fit for me, there’s no doubt about that,” Leonard told HOOPSWORLD. “At the same time, I know it’s going to take hard work and I’ll be learning every single day. I’m going to have to prove myself. There are no guarantees in this league, even when spots are open. I’m just going to come in every day and work as hard as possible.”

    “I just want to become the best player that I can be,” Leonard added. “For this first year, it’s going to be a big learning process and a big step. I want to work hard and get better. I do hope to start a few games, but we’ll see what happens. There are obviously a lot of other guys in this organization and it’s going to come down who wants to work the hardest every single day in practice to get better.”

    The 20-year-old recently played in the Las Vegas Summer League, where he averaged 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. He and sixth overall pick Damian Lillard formed an excellent one-two punch for the Blazers in Las Vegas, and they’ve developed a strong relationship since the draft.

    “It’s been great,” Leonard said of his relationship with Lillard. “The first night that we went to Portland, we had our press conference and a meal. After that, we started talking and we ended up at gym at the same time. There was nobody else in the gym besides us and we were getting shots up in our first night there. After that, we sat down and talked for at least an hour. We talked about everything and really got to know each other. We talked about our college seasons, where we’re from, what we do off the court and everything like that. I feel like we’re building a strong bond. On the court, we definitely complement each other well.”

    Leonard has been a starter at every level throughout his basketball career, which tends to happen when you’re 7’1. Now, he’s looking forward to fighting for the starting job and will use the competition as motivation.

    “It’s actually more of a motivator than anything,” Leonard said. “I know I have to be in the gym extra long. I know I have to be in the weight room more. I know I have to do everything right and continue to learn from the older guys and the staff.”
