Leonard vs Jimmer x2 (ESPN) (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/6937711/jimmer-fredette-kawhi-leonard-play-exhibition-matches-nba-lockout)

Will be good to see the guy in action finally. Wonder if the games will be streamed or taped like some of the other games so far this summer.

[ace3g]

This is coming up, hopefully there will be some footage somewhere

[lurker23]

Hey guys, wanted to give you the heads up that it sounds like the game will be streamed online.

http://twitter.com/#!/JimmersAllStars/status/116185926035701760

Sounds like you can get it at byutv.org or ksl.com. The game is this Thursday (9/22/11), at 7 pm Mountain Time (8 pm Central).

(FYI, the game in Salt Lake City on 9/21 was cancelled, so there's only the one game.)

[lefty]

kawhi leonards going for 15 boards and 12 points

[ace3g]

You can see Leonard on the court a few times in this vid: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=294&sid=17347647 and he talks on camera at 1:45 mark

[pass1st]

Curious to see how jimmer will play with a better team.

They're introducing the players right now.

[ace3g]

where are you watching?

[Hooks]

You have to sign up though to watch it.

[Hooks]

Faried is on team Fredette, it'll be interesting to see him and Kawhi bang on the boards

Stream quality is going down.

[ace3g]

I was there , just wasn't working with my twitter account, so I just signed up the other way

[Rito3d30]

excellent streaming quality!

[Hooks]

Leonard scored the first two points with a shot off the backboard, missed a three and then a fade away jumper while posting up.

[ace3g]

Fredette also has Singleton, so far Leonard has missed both a top of the key 3 and a turn around jumper on the left baseline while posting up

[Hooks]

Singleton guarding Leonard, Leonard drove it in on him, missed he jump shot but managed to get the O-Reb and scored.

[Rito3d30]

Leonard can drive!!

[ace3g]

Singleton has hit a couple of outside shots,

Leonard draws the foul (probably a charge) but gets the and 1....misses the FT

[Hooks]

Leonard just crossed up Jackson Emery, drove it in shot it (made it) and drew a foul earning him an and 1.

[yavozerb]

Pretty entertaining game so far..Leonard is pretty quick on the perimeter, would like to see him hit some shots.

[Rito3d30]

Nice D on Honeycutt by Leonard

[Hooks]

Faried is TERRIBLE lmao

[yavozerb]

Nice D on Honeycutt by Leonard

I think he blocked that shot

[Rito3d30]

I think he blocked that shot

nice block then :toast

[ace3g]

Leonard back in

[ace3g]

Leonard banks in a shot near the top of the key, was kind of pissed by the previous play where he couldn't get the ball and it was stolen due to bad pass.

[Rito3d30]

quite a fun game to watch

[DPG21920]

Can't really take anything from this game at all. He's definitely coasting and not really putting in much effort overall. No one is. Fun to watch basketball but I'm not really learning much about anyone.

[DPG21920]

Faried is TERRIBLE lmao

Faried shitting all over SpursTalk.

[yavozerb]

Faried shitting all over SpursTalk.

:lol, airball, dunk, airball, dunk...shitting allo ver the place and even on himself sometimes

[TimmehC]

:lol Kawhi missing dunks.

[DPG21920]

Someone had to say it.

Also, Leonard's 3pt shot looks pretty bad tonight. Everything is really long and hitting the backboard or back of the rim.

[DPG21920]

Also, nice to see Greg Oden playing again.

[pass1st]

Lol, team Jimmer

[pass1st]

Lol, airballs and bad handles all around

[pass1st]

Isiah can shoot

[GB20]

thomas is really good.

[GB20]

kawhi can go to the line really easy.

[Rito3d30]

Team Leonard is kicking ass:ihit

[pass1st]

Waiting for Jimmer to start throwing up half court 3s

[TimmehC]

:lol Jimmer and Thomas running into each other. Future teammates already hurting each other.

[pass1st]

Thomas and Fredette going to make a good relief back court.

[ace3g]

more FTs for Leonard

[yavozerb]

Leonard at least hitting most of his free throws..

[ace3g]

lol Jimmer's brother "rapping" lol

[redskinfan]

game is on UVERSE tv channel 567 or 1567 in HD.

[TimmehC]

lol Jimmer's brother "rapping" lol

That was fucking terrible, to put it mildly.

[pass1st]

Did Jimmer actually play good D for a second?

[ace3g]

final boxscore: http://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=2481

Leonard 24 pts, 10 boards

[pass1st]

SDSU's Leonard gets best of Fredette


Leonard even showed up recently on consecutive mornings at the Aztecs' practice facility in San Diego with two lights from home because the building was still dark in the offseason.

"It wasn't like arena lighting, but it was enough for us to see the rim," said Leonard, who has added about 15 pounds of muscle to prepare for life with the San Antonio Spurs.

Kings must be happy after that game, their 3 picks all performed solid. Thomas isn't letting his height bother him at all.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

8 of 9 from the line I like

[TDMVPDPOY]

what was his weight when drafted

now 15punds pure muscle...must not be about his flacid

[Vito Corleone]

I'm still a big Jimmer fan

[Hooks]

225, he's probably around 240. The Spurs must've told him he'd be playing some pf this year.

fck man dont want him to play pf....

[Hooks]

Either that or they just wanted him to bulk up, I heard there were some concerns about his strength since he only got 3 reps on the bench in the combine. He's pretty damn big for a sf that muscle will definitely help him in the nba in both scoring and rebounding. There are only a handful of sf's in the nba that are around 240.

Yeah he looked pretty lanky to me. I don't think it has anything to do with putting him at PF lol. They just want him to be a bit stronger. I'm sure it will help him any time he goes inside or crashes the boards.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Who is #23?

[ace3g]

Who is #23?

Tyler Honeycutt

[taps]

I hope his rebounding makes Blair redundant.

I think he will get some minutes at PF especially with Dice probably retiring and TD aging, I mean they did it to RJ his first year, he played quite a bit of PF during "small ball" as well. Leonard seems to be better suited to play PF more than RJ though as he's a better defender plus he's got very long arms, slightly bigger and is a very good rebounder. Pop will probably roll out a lineup like:
-Splitter
-Leonard
-Anderson
-Neal
-Parker

IMO it's pretty much guaranteed we'll see small ball next year.

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Can the Spurs get with the times and just get a 7 footer? Leonard will be a fine prospect but size is needed.

[DesignatedT]

Nice to see him put on some muscle like that. I know his strength was a concern to some. If the Spurs feel like he needs to lose some of that weight then he can do that just as easily also.
