Meyers Leonard models his on-court emotion after Joakim Noah.
“The way Joakim Noah plays with passion and a lot of energy and some tenacity out there I kind of model my game around that,” Leonard said Friday at the NBA draft combine.
Leonard is working to expand his game to become an inside-outside scoring threat.
“Coming in I understand my role more is to be a defensive presence and impact the game with my athleticism and blocked shots, run the floor, finish around the rim,” he said. “From there, expanding my game to pick and pop. I’m just going to come in every single day and try to get better.”
