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.

Yeah, it's just too bad things on the court didn't work out more favorably for the Bears last season. But I can understand the call from the wallet's perspective. Miss the days of Shipp and Tamir...

Kinda funny seeing all those Bears bball games in Haas, even taking an exam in there, then seeing Bob Dylan perform in that same gym!

GO BEARS!
