Analysis:
Leonard came on strong last season with nobody watching. This year he has invited the attention and is playing at a very high level. He has the ability to play both the small and power forward positions with his length and athleticism. His lack of lateral speed may hurt him as a small forward, but he makes up for that with great length and defensive ability. The offensive game is still a work in progress, but has shown flashes of being an impact on both ends.
