Kawhi Leonard is moving up on the Big Board!!

Now I'm picturing a front court with Favors, Biyombo and Leonard. With Hayward at SG, that could be some smothering defense.

Two points:

1. Which guy (Biyombo or Leonard) do you think falls to #12?

2. At least in the short term, that team better defend because offense might be an issue.

Everyone's favorite draft website Draft Express is also impressed in Leonard's improvement to his game. https://www.draftexpress.com/articl...rt-One-Joe-Abunassars-Impact-Basketball-3703/

Thanks for that video, I like it. I really like Kawhi also, but I think his value is kind of stuck in between our picks. 6 is probably too high (unless Irving, DWill, Kanter, Biyombo, and Knight are gone) and I am certain he's not dropping to 12.

Thanks for posting. That dude's got long arms. I bet measures out with better reach than other players 6'7".

True, at the same time his height looks closer to 6'6" than 6'7".

My current mock draft compilation currently has Leonard at 11, so it's not very unreasonable to suppose he could be there at 12.

True, I hadn't checked there. I was mostly thinking about the recent buzz that has him moving higher. That's not reflected in the mocks yet, so it wouldn't be in your compilation either. I'm curious to see what happens as the draft order gets set and the mocks solidify, but I think he'd be a solid pick at #12. I just don't think he'll make it that far.
 
I think a couple of the Euros -- Montiejunas and Vesely will stay in the top 10 once they start working out for teams. They're the forgotten players right now since they're overseas.
 
I might take Vesely ahead of Leonard, but not if he couldn't stay in Europe. For that matter, I'd look hard at any Euros who might be worth the 6 who were willing to stay in Europe if Leonard's the best guy. But I wouldn't cry if we took Leonard. Just not excited.
 
i really like leonard. I watched him couple of games this year and i believe he will be a very good contributor if not a star. He may not be as good as rudy gay but im pretty sure he can be a better ariza. If kirilenko will be gone, we should try to get him with our second pick
 
Looks like Leonard is out of the question now. I love him, but #3 is too high for him and I doubt he drops to 12.
