TJ Leaf

While he's getting criticism for not taking a large volume of 3's making nearly 65% of his 2's - which is phenominal for a freshman jump-shooter. I pretty much agree with Disposable Hero - once he adds some strength, he's going to be a very good NBA 4.

Something bothers me about the way this kid moves. Sort of awkward and herky jerky. The athletes at the next level will embarrass him pretty badly I'm afraid.

I'm not comparing their abilities, but he actually reminds me of Kevin McHale - awkward but effective. He's not graceful, but has good footwork and fundamental basketball skills and has a soft shooting touch.

Leaf has not looked as impressive the last part of the season. But I think 20 years ago as a 3 or 4 year college player, he'd be a monster by his 3rd or 4th year.

I see Leaf in the NBA as a higher impact Ryan Anderson: a solid starter and prominent role player, but not an all star.
