Kawhi Leonard had 10 points, 10 rebounds, blocked two shots and had three steals in San Diego State's 68-55 win over Air Force. San Diego State now has 20 wins and zero losses.
“He’s going to play in the NBA,” Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said Wednesday night. “It’s a question of when.”
“Biggest hands I’ve ever seen,” said Aztecs forward Billy White.
“He reminds me of Chris Webber,” Fisher said, “not only with the size (of his hands), but the sureness of them. He doesn’t lose many balls that he gets a hand on.”
“He’s got great instincts,” New Mexico coach Steve Alford said Monday on the Mountain West’s weekly conference call. “He’s got a great basketball IQ. His shooting has improved. He has a much more aggressive demeanor this year. He takes smaller guards to the post. If he has someone bigger (on him), they’re playing some point-forward more this year and that makes for a difficult matchup. And you have to block him out on every attempt.”
“I will act as a sounding board for him,” Fisher said. “I think I can get him surer feedback than anybody … Then he’ll have a decision to make.”
