    There's a lot of boneheaded shit happening out there when he takes the court. It'd be nice to think he's magically turned some corner, but I don't think it's time to buy Meyers Leonard stock just yet.

    Surprised we don't run more pick and pops with him give how effective his midrange shot is.

    See I actually think he makes a couple of real boneheaded mistakes but they just really stand out and that's what folks remember. But he consistently makes those couple of ridiculous plays every game he plays. There's no disputing the kid is helping us win games..he contributes way more than he detracts from my view. I just really wanted him to get it this year and he's not there...Stotts still said he's maturing ....you can see that

    With the overall consistency he has had in minutes this year compared to years past, maybe this IS his year to "Get it", but when your getting it, your not showing it. Next year ( If we bring him back) I think he will show what he got this year. Or I hope he does anyhow. Mainly cause I haven't burned his Jersey yet. :)

    Well in two weeks the reminder will be that he's only 24. I know that doesn't make that much of a difference but either way I'm ready to give up on him. Mainly because I really don't want us to give him any kind of large contract after this season.

    I really don't see this great passing that so many of you talk about. He's nowhere near as good at passing as Plumlee.

    Meyers Leonard, playing his way into trade bait.

    Actually looked like Orton had hooked Meyers arms and Meyers did the right thing rolling in the direction he did...could've really damaged his shoulder in Kevin Love fashion if he hadn't spun Orton around like that

    Knowing everyone is okay from that video, it's enthralling to see all of the different reactions. Crabbe is like ohh. Oh Shit! Comes sprinting like it's time to throw down. Truck is like, hey now, let's calm down. The cheerleaders faces are great too.
