Leonard bounces back with first double-double
Kawhi Leonard - G/F - San Antonio Spurs
Jan. 31, 2012 - 4:40 AM ET
Kawhi Leonard bounced back from a brutal stretch with his first career double-double against the Grizzlies, scoring 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting with 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 32 minutes on Monday.
Leonard did a bang up job on Rudy Gay (0-for-7 FGs, one point), but also had plenty of help from his teammates. While Leonard did provide late-round value upon taking control of the starting shooting guard job, and has plenty of upside, the propensity for Gregg Popovich to move guys around and the last week's slump are too much to ignore here. Take a flier if you want, but we're inclined to tell 12-team owners to wait-and-see.
