Im in...
I'm definitely not speaking for Spursfans as a whole, but I'm really excited about this guy. I'm actually surprised and happy about the 15 minutes POP gave him. He definitely wasn't perfect, but he picked up on the boards when it seemed no one else was getting any (Bonner), and he defended pretty ing well against a forward that one shouldn't shrug his shoulder at. Scoring-wise, I think he'll pick it up. The guy could be our new BRUCE!
No-one agrees that he can fill Bruce's role??
I mean, there will never be another Bruce Bowen, but I think he provides the exterior defense that has been lacking with RJ. The guy has the length and definitely the potential to be a scary defensive threat. Thoughts?

Can he fill the role? Sure, he can (and will) try.
Can he do it as admirably as one of the best defenders of the last decade? Let's give him more than one game before we start calling those shots.
Not only was Bruce perennial All-Defense, he was clutch with that corner three. Leonard has a long way to go before his shot is that pure.
Agreed... I don't mean to overhype the guy, but god damn, he has the reach of Conan the Barbarian, awesome rebounding skills, and athleticism that the almighty Bruce didn't have.
It's too early to know, but I'm really hoping the guy proves himself.
Butthurt LakerFan that is going to be embarrassed by the Clipps!
Now GTFO and go the NBA forum.
I'm in his fan club. I love his energy and hustle. I always like players who hustled and played good D.
I am a fan of the team, don't know anything about the guy. I hope he does well, but I won't say I am in his fan club when he's played one game.
Here...you can't not get behind this guy...
He looks more like Gerald Wallace.
I hope he continues to develop, but he's going to have to be something really special to be Bruce Bowen. It's an insult to compare them at this point, but hope springs eternal.
Kid looks good in his first live NBA game. Defense is the spurs MO when they were winning, and hopefully reviving the team's overall defense can put them back in their winning ways in the playoffs.
Where can i sign for the James Anderson fan club? JA is looking locked and loaded on the 1st game of the season. Hopefully, guys' energy levels will remain high.
@Pop, if Bonner can't hit the three, just take him out of the game, goodness!
Jerome Kersey with a bit more size? Imo...

Is he actually posting ??
In. He is no Bruce, but I like the idea that someone wants to have as much defensive impact as Bowen. Leonard is only 20, so hat's off to him showing this much presence already.
I hope KL does great things, we need it. Right now he's done nothing. His story is cookie cutter for a ton of black professional athletes. I cannot jump on his bandwagon just because he has a story.
I still support the guy though, don't get wrong.
