Leonard Compares Himself To Worthy

May 31, 2011 10:10 AM

Kawhi Leonard is one of 30 potential draft prospects -- including Maryland sophomore Jordan Williams – training in Las Vegas with Joe Abunassar at Impact Basketball.

He has been working hard on improving his ballhandling and his jumper by finding the proper balance on his release and landing.

“I want to do a lot of things on the court. I just want to be a complete basketball player. Dribble, pass, shoot, be a leader, play defense, block shots, steals. I’m trying to do it all,” Leonard said. “I think my comparison would be like to one of the throwback type of players. James Worthy, versatile, could do a lot of stuff on the court.”

Kawhi Leonard Signs With Agent, Will Remain In Draft

May 6, 2011 10:56 PM

Kawhi Leonard signed with Brian Elfus of Impact Sports Management, a firm that is well entrenched in the NFL and is beginning to grow its client base in basketball.

Its biggest basketball name is Charlotte Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas, in his fifth NBA season after leaving Louisiana State following his freshman year.

SDSU coach Steve Fisher said he was consulted in the process and approved of the decision.

“I’ve known (Elfus) for a long time,” Fisher said. “Kawhi had three or four finalists that the family interviewed, and I felt none of them would be a bad choice. They did a good job.”
