the problem is that neither Leonard or Vesely are fluid coordinated athlef you watch Leonard closely, you see he is very stiff in his movements and doesn't have alot of flexibility. When he makes jab steps, his body is stiff like a board, when he attempts to go for dunks or shots in the paint, he doesn't have alot fine coordination. He reminds me alot of al thornton both were very stiff. The only difference its looks like between Thornton and Leonard is that Leonard has a higher basketball aptitude. Leonard just doesn't have alot of explosive on his first step either at 6'6 really neutralizes his great arm length. His shot is also very stiff. His big hands help rebounding but he doesn't look like he has alot of core body strength or gracefulness. I would like to compare him to scotty pippen and Worthy were way more explosive and had better fine motor coordination than Leonard.
i would take Singleton over leonard and Vesely especially considering who the small forward are that he has to match up with on an nightly basis. Singleton is more fluid and explosive than Leonard. Leonard has more of a shooting guard frame and he isn't that explosive defensively or offensively.
Vesely is to soft to guard a --joe johnson, lebron james, carmelo anthony, paul pierce. Singleton reminds me of a better three point shooting Gerald Wallace.
Singleton over Vesely and Leonard.
singleton has stiffness issues as well but he is a player that will earn his money defensively, and he can definitely knock down the three and what i like is how fluid he looks with curl off picks, catch and shoot threes. That's going to really be a dangerous. i like that he compares himself to scotty pippen. If worse comes to worst we take singleton at 6. Leonard doesn't have the frame or explosveness to match up with the stronger athletic three's. His body is much more a shooting guards than a small forward despite the fact that he is a really good standing reach. IF he has more explosiveness with his vertical he could actually make his standing reach useful, but combination of not being explosive, not having fine coordination offensively--singleton also doesn't have fine coordination but singleton will develop into a deadly three point shooter and an excellent target for John Wall.
I definitely see Singleton as better fit for us than Marcus Morris.
Build your team w/5 shooters using P. Pierce Form deeply bent hips and lower back arch at same time b4 rising into shot. Elbow never pointing to the ground! Good teams have an engine player that shoot volume (2000 full season) at 50 percent.Large Hands
