Game is slowing down for Meyers Leonard
Meyers Leonard - C - Portland Trail Blazers
March 8, 2013 - 7:35 AM ET

Meyers Leonard, who is averaging 7.7 points and 4.7 rebounds since the All-Star break, said that the game is beginning to slow down for him.

Leonard averaged only 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds before the All-Star break. Notably, Leonard is shooting 65.6 percent from the floor in the seven games since the break and was shooting at a 54.1 percent clip before that. "I've been working hard and just listening," Leonard said. The Blazers would love if Leonard kept developing this way, but the rookie still has a long way to go. "I understand what the future could hold and should hold," he added.
