Erik Gundersen of the Columbian chronicles the rising importance of Portland's new stretch forward.
Erik Gundersen of The Columbian has published an extensive piece on the rising prominence of Portland Trail Blazers forward Meyers Leonard. He discusses Portland's improved plans for the fourth-year stretch shooter and looks at how those plans played out in Monday's first pre-season outing versus the Sacramento Kings.
"I've worked on shots off of that and I've also worked on it some in practice. I feel pretty comfortable with it," Leonard said. "Getting the flow and the feel of reading different situations out of it will be something I have to improve on.
