Meyers Leonard has bloomed of late, averaging 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds while shooting 73 percent from the field over a three-game stretch.

Leonard was a lottery pick last June, but has been slow to contribute meaningfully during his rookie season with the Portland Trail Blazers. 

“It’s all come out of nowhere, man,” Leonard said. “I’m more relaxed. The game’s not moving so fast. And not only that, my reaction time is better. I’ve been watching a lot of film, I’ve been working hard and just listening."
