He looks pretty talented, but its far too early to see how he could do in the NBA.

He looks more like a poor mans Anthony Randolph.

Remember, this is ISH, where "common sense" doesn't happen.

Man, That kid is only around 17 as well, If he continues to progress then I can deffinatly see him becoming a great player in the nba..but not the next KG seeing as hes only 6 9 .

well obviously he doesnt have **** on anthony randolph, but he threw out that he was the "next kg" so i gave a more realistic comparison.

yall need to settle down.

He's a skinny 6'8" kid that can jump high. I'd be buying a minor league baseball franchise tomorrow if I had 5 bucks for every one of those I've seen. Maybe he has more skills than that, but none that were evident from that particular video.

Leslie certainly looks like a big-time prospect and a promising power forward, but let's hold off on the KG comparisons. First of all, he's about five inches shorter. KG is/was a 7-foot freak of nature who was even more athletic than that and had every basketball skill in the book at a high level.

Highlight reel reminds me of a Ndudi Ebi reel I once saw.

Too much posing for the camera in that clip.

lukeridnour08 · 06-09-2009, 04:08 AM

From this video you can tell that he is-
Athletic
Gets off the floor easy
Can run the floor
Good coordination
Can catch in transition and dunk
can block shots from different angles

These traits along w/ a long 6'9 frame can get you very far.
His progress will be determined by which college he chooses.
If its USC, then he may turn out like Davon Jefferson.

Davon is more like 6'6" 6'7" max with shoes and also is an idiot for leaving USC early, he had an agent that gave him bad advice and he believed him.

Davon was an idiot to begin with, he was already a 21 year old freshman.

Do you honestly believe he could've raised his stock another season?

James Johnson was a 21 year old freshman

It was also well documented that Davon did not have it quite right up in the head.

As far as Johnson, who knows.

But it took Devon 2 different prep schools after graduating HS to get into a college
