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.”
