Anybody know where in the NBA he is headed?
Bears'll miss his talent but it's not like he put in a ton of game time this past season for 'em...
I think that Leon will have trouble in the NBA - best case scenario IMHO is that he'll turn out to be a Corliss Williamson type of player.
That being said, Leon was a classy individual at Cal and represented Cal admirably. His backstory is an amazing thing to read and I really hope that he does well in the NBA.
In order to support his siblings, both parents are deceased, his decision to turn pro makes a lot of sense. Also, he has had injury problems in the past; next year, the 19 year olds will go into the draft so this year's draft class is weaker makes this a slam dunk decision for Leon to go pro this year.
