Meyers Leonard shoulders plenty
January 25, 2012 12:21 PM
He is, thanks to a late growth spurt, a fairly new 7-foot center wrapped in a guard's body. The Illinois sophomore is impressive one day, vexing the next.
His game is not entirely ready for the NBA, but his body is.
His heart would love to remain a college kid, "stay a kid a little longer" as he says, but the responsibilities of his life -- an ailing mother, a brother in Afghanistan -- dictate a more mature path.
