2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Kawhi Leonard
Position: Small Forward
Size: 6-7, 225
School: San Diego State, Sophomore
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Leonard impacts the game in so many different ways, and what is scary is that he is not close to being a polished player on the offensive end. As San Diego State continues to get more exposure due to their success this season, Leonard will get more and more recognition. He has worked his way into late lottery discussions.
Player Comparison: Trevor Ariza. Ariza has made his impact in the NBA due to his athleticism and ability to defend on the wing. Leonard will have to follow that blueprint to reach his maximum level of success at the next level. Both players are effective off the bounce and in the open floor, but do not have reliable outside shots.
