    So Leonard's minutes will depend on whether or not they want Defense or Offense. They will choose between Leonard and Freeland respectively.

    Claver will backup Nic and spend no time at the 4. Jefferies is on the team because NY is paying his salary and next year is not guaranteed. He will only see time due to injury.

    So Freeland and Leonard will end up splitting time IMO.

    He'll be hard to watch for the first few months of the season but he has to get touches -- development is "key" this season for Meyers, according to Neil.

    Just as long as they put him in P&R's (not P&P's!) and avoid ISO's, he'll be fine.

    Expect to see him catch many lobs this season.

    nah, this type of thread will be ignored and a new one will be created every time. LENNY MILES SUXORS!!!!! MEYERS LEONARD IS THE NEXT DAVID ROBINSON!!!! Over and over and over again all year long. I LOVE having a crappy team full of young guys with potential. I don't even care if we win as long as my favorite youngster does well. I'm really hoping that Joel Freeland brings something early in the season so we can split into tribes and argue over whether him or Leonard is the COTF!!!! FTW!!!

    It's gonna be awesome. I hope it gets as good as the never ending Travis Outlaw VS Martell Webster threads.

    I really hope he can average 20 or so minutes but a big white player who isn't exactly a finesse player is going to pick up fouls like its nobody's business.

    I won't talk about his ceiling, because frankly we have no idea, but I'm pretty sure his median is going to be around 15 minutes, 5 points, 4 rebounds, .5 blocks, 4 fouls and a defensive rating over 108

    Huh? Has anyone in the history of the league averaged 11 rebounds in only 25 minutes?

    Yes.

    Wilt. Russell. Bellamy. Pettit. Elgin. Rodman. Unseld. Jerry Lucas. Nate Thurmond.

    And then the Boerwinkle, Fortson, Gus Johnson, Dukes, etc. types.

    Gotcha. Then KS is right, no one has. If you make it 26mpg/11rpg, then it's Tom Boerwinkle. If you make it 25mpg/10rpg, then you get Jayson Williams and three guys from the 50's/60's

    Among rookies, only Clifford Ray came close.
