C.J. Leslie Showing More Consistency, Improved Practice Habits

Mar 8, 2012 10:31 AM

C.J. Leslie averaged 20.8 points and 10.5 rebounds over the last four games of the regular season, earning him All-ACC second-team status.

“He is, I think, playing extremely well,” Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried said. “I always tell players, great players play their best when their best is needed. What I’ve been impressed with Calvin is that he has played some of his best basketball against our toughest competition. So I like that.”

Leslie pointed to improved shooting from outside of 6 feet as one of the reasons for the improvement, while N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried credited Leslie’s work ethic.

“I think his practice habits are improving,” Gottfried said. “His play in the games has been spectacular. So we just need him to continue that.”
