C.J. Leslie

C.J. Leslie - In 34 games last year for the Erie BayHawks, Leslie averaged 13.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in only 24.5 minutes per game. He also recorded two turnovers per game and insisted on taking 41 three pointers, even though he still can't shoot them. This is the frustrating thing with Leslie - an athletic specimen, Leslie just wants to be an alpha scorer, a shooter and a perimeter player, an isolation player, a wing threat. And he isn't. If he could settle for occasional driver and defensive disruptor, this would be grand, but he has yet to embrace a role other than 'star', and he hasn't star talent.

C.J. Leslie - Leslie lost out on a roster spot to Chris Smith, and is in the D-League, averaging 16.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks for the Erie BayHawks. He is one of those players whose perceived talent outweighs his actual talent - Leslie tantalizes with the outline of an inside/outside offensive game and great defensive potential, but he rarely plugs in, wants to play on the perimeter on both ends, and in the end is no more productive than half of this list. Leslie might have more talent than the aforementioned Landry, but at least Landry knows how to use his.
