Should Meyers Leonard stay, or go to NBA?

Here are some of Procopio's observations on Leonard:
He's a below-average scorer, but that's OK. He's never going to be a go-to guy on the block. Big guys tend to feel like they have to score a lot. If you can get a rebound every 3-3.5 minutes or less, have two blocks a game, you're in good shape. Active bigs stay in the league. Jeff Foster has made millions doing that.
He needs the control the block better. He doesn't get low enough. If he were to stay another year, I'd make him develop a move on the block.
