Really am rooting for Meyers - a good story, seems like a good kid, and although currently still very flawed, there's definitely potential there.
I wrote Leonard off after last season. I was wrong. Stotts is doing something Nate was completely incapable of in allowing a player to play to his strengths. Remember how he forced Frye to play C and made him bang down low, while ignoring his ability to set strong picks and pop out for shots? He was able to harness that strength even more in PHX. If Leonard can become a mini-Frye for us, that is a HUGE piece off the bench.
Frye has averaged 10/5 in 24 MPG in his career, so we are hoping for 7/3 in 24 MPG as a mini Frye? FYI, Luke Babbitt is 8/5 in 24 MPG for his career Were you completely wrong?
Not really a fair comparison. I don't think Leonard has ever played 24 minutes in a game. Frye was a starter in Phoenix. Leonard's rookie season got the most minutes and we were tanking that year
Considering I thought he'd be out of the league at the end of his contract, a mini-Frye seems pretty decent.
"Freeland is just sorta there"......doing the dirty work. Don't we need a hustle player in the game down low when Robin is on the bench? But I guess it comes down to who plays better with Kaman: TRob, Joel, or Meyers. Hell maybe you are right and the answer is LeonarO. The one with the best range who can stay out of Kaman's way....... I still would choose Joel though. At least at first.
