    Have never been able to understand why Leonard lacks a post game. What has he been doing all these years?

    Just a few days ago someone was complaining that he doesn't back guys down when they put a small defender on him. Well, he did against MIN (video #3): http://on.nba.com/1TQYsD4
    He continues to improve.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a superstar in the making usually get an immediate contract extension? Meyers didn't.

    I believe Meyers was offered one and turned it down.

    Leonard is a decent rebounder, he just defers to much. When Plums or Davis is playing, he gets too passive and lets them rebound. When he has played with Vonleh or Aminu (rare) he is much more aggressive at going after boards.

    Overall he does need to develop a more aggressive attitude. Was it the last game or one before that he was posted up under the basket when Lillard lobbed him a pass, he pushed his defender off a little (called for offensive) and found himself all alone right under the hoop. Rather than making an easy dunk, he layed it up. That shows fundamental non-aggressiveness.

    Most ppl ASSume that the "glass" is filled to whatever degree w/ water, w/ respects to this thread's topic, it's filled w/ something else:unsure:

    I'm not a Meyers hater (never was & won't be; I think he's ok though :wink:) but "Superstar...o_O"

    Let's take baby steps; when/IF Meyers gets to "star," THEN we'll talk about his POTENTIAL to become a "Superstar."
