: North Carolina: SF/PF196-foot-62207-foot-18 to 20Clearly an NBA athlete. Great jumper -- quick off his feet and really gets up. Has the tools to defend PGs, SGs and SFs: quick feet, long arms and is more than willing to compete. Once he gets stronger (he's already strong but has the body to handle more muscle), will be able to play as a small ball PF. Gets elevation on jumpers and his stroke looks fine; shot 77% at the line. Good instincts on the boards, particularly on the offensive end. Late bloomer in high school, appears to have a lot of untapped potential.He was a top high school recruit but underwhelmed as a freshman (9.8 points, 4.6 boards in 18.2 minutes). Has a high ceiling defensively but fundamentals need work. Offense needs even more work: rigid with the ball, no court vision, turns it over a lot. Shot just 26.9% on threes -- will need to hit threes to be a viable NBA player. Played mostly PF at UNC due to his lack of perimeter skill, which is not a good sign. Would be lock for top ten if two inches taller. As it is, he's short for being such a work in progress as a perimeter player.: Needs a year in Austin. Down the road, fits well next to White, Murray and Walker as long as his shot improves.: 2013 Kawhi Leonard: Malik Hairston
