Thoughts on Pop comparing Leonard to Bowen

Leonard currently defending Jameer Nelson.

Thought of your prediction when I came home and saw him on Nelson.

He did okay, again, he seemed to make the shot difficult for his man even though he had got beaten off the dribble....it's like paradoxical

Still had trouble slipping through pick n rolls

Tbh, that might have been a fluke though because it allowed Parker to defend Re . TP is the best player on the team in maneuvering around screens and if you do that against Re , you basically remove him from the game. We'll have to see it in another situation before saying that Pop is officially using Leonard to defend PGs.

Naturally...in fact keeping Parker more on the perimeter instead of defending a driving player probably was another factor, so an outlet would put him in more of a position to make something happen on the run after a rebound.

I just think it's cool that he is actually on a PG

Leonards guarding 3s, 2s, and tonight 1s. Seems eerily similar to another guy we had a few years ago.
