One Cavs source says he's in the mix.
Please be a smokescreen, please be a smokescreen......ray:

Lets just say HYPOTHETICALLY the cavs make the trade with the wizards for their number 6th and 18th pick. Would you guys want Kawhi Leonard at 6? I was watching some vid on him and he looks like he will be a 15 ppg, 8rpg, 4 apg type of guy. Not saying thats what he would average just saying he looks like he will be the type of player that will always be good. A guy you want on your team cause you know what your going to get. Thoughts?
I like his game a lot, and I think the comparisons to Gerald Wallace are adequate, but even at 6, that's still a little high for me to be comfortable taking him.
We've already got a developmental wing in Eyenga, and there are more pressing needs for our team that high in the lottery.
If we ended up making a trade with Houston that got us #14 and #23 and he was still available at 14, I'd take him and not even think about it, but I don't think he'll get past Golden State at 11.

Reading some of these are great.............
Honestly, I'm not trying to hate on this guy, but if you remove the fact he has big hands and 'no body fat' from the article, he just seems like another player. There is no way I'd draft him any where near 4 or even 10 for that matter. Once again no hate on this guy but the drills hes doing, while dribbling the ball towards the basket you see him looking down on the floor instead of keeping his eyes on the rim. I know I'm nit picking but come on guy, you're trying to get into the NBA and you're taking little things like that for granted?
The comparison I heard to Gerald Wallace seem fair, his defensive ability will be what keeps him in the NBA, long arms will be his best asset. I see him averaging 2 steals a game and at least one block a game just because of his athletic ability and high basketball IQ. The more I think about it he has a lot of potential, how old is this guy?
I'm just not sure how a talent like him would fit on THIS team, however on a different team in a different system (like the Celtics for example) I can see him flourishing. I see this Cavs team in need of a scorer at the 2 position. Especially a scorer that can shoot.
