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.

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.
